Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Description

Expand your massage therapy skills and broaden your practice. Lymph drainage massage can be extremely beneficial to clients who suffer from allergies, have had recent surgery, or suffer from edema. The treatment is quite relaxing to the client as it has a highly calming effect on the body.

In this exclusive course, based on Dr. Emil Vodder's method of manual lymph drainage, you will learn the anatomy of the lymphatic system, including lymph nodes, vessels and angions. You will also master the locations of the basic nodes and the drainage patterns the lymph follow. The causes and types of edema are explained as well as the indications and contraindications of lymphatic massage.

WOW that was intense but very informative. The manuals were clear and concise. The video helped with this kinesthetic learner. I am now eager to take a hands on Lymphatic Drainage Massage class which will give me even more confidence when working in this area. I thank the Institute for their excellent presentation of materials!

- Patricia Michaelson

I really enjoyed taking the LDM course. The manual held my attention from beginning to end. After watching the video, I actually played it while practicing LDM on my husband. I also appreciate the supplemental book which compliments this course perfectly. I have already recommended this Institute and will continue to do so in the. Thank You

- Margarita Hartney, LMT, NCTMB

I have nothing to add, other than a thank you. This course was wonderful! The reading material is clear and to the point! The video was extremely helpful, and the added text was absolutely wonderful to read!

- Ayelet Bazalel, LMBT, LMT

Very interesting and has become a valuable technique that I have already intergrated into my practice. Am very interested in pursuing advanced training in the area after this thorough introduction.

- Maryann Benitez, LMT, NCTMB

As a deep tissue specialist, this has helped a great deal with understanding and integrating lighter touch when deeper is not called for. I have several people waiting for me to implement this into my practice, which I feel I can do confidently.

- Tyna Boccarossa, LMT

I was pleasantly surprised by the superior quality of the LDM manuals and DVD. They were able to take a complex anatomical subject and make it into an easy to understand format. Very impressed!

- Holly Luenemann, LMT, NCTMB

I have been wanting to learn about lymphatic drainage massage since I became a massage therapist. This course allowed me to do that in my own home at my own pace. And I can always continue to use the materials to brush up or to become better at my practice!

- Elisha Logsdon, LMT

The information was presented straight forward & easy to understand. I appreciated that! The only problem I had was staying awake watching the video. The instructors voice was to soothing. I was very glad the book had all of the info from the video. All in all it was a good course and I will definitely recommend the Institute to others and also purchase more courses at a later time.

- Christine Mills, LMT

The course material was very informative and challenging. I liked the fact that it was not so easy. I read the book and watched the dvd. I still had to review and do some research in the book while answering some of the test questions. I enjoyed this course and learned a lot.

- Mary Jacobs, LMBT

The completeness of the course with the video & demo plus diagrams & the guide book was very impressive. Included here is all we need to learn this technique well & to keep studying the vast amount of information given. The gentle touch is a great relief for my hands. As I get near 70 yrs of age, this more gentle work is important to my continued success in doing massage therapy. Thank you for making this awesome course available.

- F. Bailey LMT

Although I have been trained in another form of lymphatic drainage ,I found this course to be quite useful and compatible and a very thorough refresher for previous work...thanks again!

- Ellyn Rae, LMT

Really loved this course and very helpful.

- Tiffany Holland, LMBT

The coursework was much more thorough and detailed than I was expecting. This was a great refresher for material that I'd been introduced to years ago, but hadn't ever studied in depth. This course makes me want to pursue the subject matter more deeply with an actual hand-on class someday.

- Tiffany Robeck, LMP

This course was easy to follow and very interesting. I am really excited to be able to use this knowledge in my massage practice. I will take another course from this education site.

- Melissa Murrill, LMT

So far, I've taken two courses from the Institute. As an NMT teacher of nearly 20 years, I'm impressed by the quality and content of the courses offered. My opinion is that an online course should entice the student to take a live class, and this course does exactly that. Thank you for an excellent product!

- Nancy Ward, RMT, NCTMB

Very informative & well presented. Thank you for yet another excellent course! Highly recommended.

- Tanya Dixon

Great course. Very informative, yet practical. It explains the anatomy and physiology very clearly but the application comes right after, so it is very complete.

- Maria Sperber, LMT

This information will be useful in my practice. I have had many inquires for lymphatic massage over the years and very few practitioners have these skills mostly due to the cost of the classes.

- Myriam Munson, CMT

Thank you so very much for this excellent knowledge. All of the materials were beyond my expectations; and I am looking forward to furthering my education and skills via your organization. P.S. Your Customer Service is the best!

Excellent course. A very worthwhile presentation that was professional and packed full of pertinent information.

I learned a lot and will read and study more. Very important course for a massage practitioner. I especially love all contraindications for LDM (not to harm clients)! I love instructor's technique on DVD - really talented professional!

- Y. Yefremenko, LMT, NCTMB, AMTA
