Manual Lymphatic Drainage Course

The Manual Lymphatic Drainage course covers the theory and practice of manual lymphatic drainage. We spend 2 days in class to learn this very specialised technique. 

The course will also cover how manual lymphatic drainage can be used in conjunction with other therapies and disciplines.

During Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage, the therapist uses gentle techniques to stimulate the lymphatic vessels. This therapy has many benefits, including relieving fluid congestion in pregnancy, boosting the immune system, improving chronic conditions such as sinusitis and rheumatoid arthritis, and speeding healing after cosmetic surgery.
This course is indicated to  help clients with stress management and anxiety.

In addition also good to add to your treatment menu for clients with swelling or pain and injuries.

On completion of the course, you will be able to get full professional insurance.
