I am so glad I took this course. It was wonderful and makes me want to take the live course sometime soon to add to my work. Clear information, very explicit, helpful. I feel everyone should take this course in case they have a client with edema and need to know the contraindications especially & how to work with edema. Thank you for whoever wrote this course.
