Course Description:

This course is the beginning of the Lymphatic Series. The lymphatic system is responsible for drainage of toxins in the body. When there is an overwhelming amount of toxicity, the drainage of lymph becomes congested and swelling occurs. What should occur in a healthy lymphatic system is the breakdown and elimination of toxins in the lymph fluid as it passes through the lymph nodes. There are many therapeutic approaches aimed at improving lymphatic flow such as massage-like techniques that simply push lymph fluid from one body region to another. Most of these approaches involve regular maintenance because lymph node function and the breakdown of toxins 10 are not addressed. Integrative Manual Therapy for Lymphatic Drainage restores normal lymphatic function by promoting blood flow to and from the lymph node, decreasing muscle spasm and fascial tension around the lymph vessels and nodes, improving liver function and other related tissues to promote breakdown of toxins, and much more. In this course, the student will learn how to treat localized, regional, and total body swelling and lymphedema on all patient populations.

1. Anatomy and physiology of the immune system.

2. Techniques to decrease localized, regional, and total body swelling and lymphedema.

3. A functional home exercise program to promote lymphatic drainage.
