Overview:
Lymph drainage massage is a unique technique first developed in Europe as a
physical therapy modality for the treatment of lymph edema. Experience has
shown that lymph drainage massage is also a perfect technique for helping
clients to maintain health and improve the beauty of their skin.
The lymph vessels, which are made up of a series of nodes and key organs, carry
excess water, fluid, waste byproducts and proteins from the connective tissue
back into the vascular system. This is a naturally occuring process through
passive movements like deep breathing, walking and yoga exercises. MLD is an
alternative methods of affecting the stimulation of this process to assist
in accellerating lymph flow. The gentle, rhythmic pumping massge that is taught
in this course follows the directions of lymph flow allowing an increase in
the expulsion of excess.
In this program student will learn how to apply lymphatic
drainage massage techniques in a variety of situations, including spa
and resort body treatments, facials, esthetics and more.
