The lymphatic system is the frontline in the body’s defense mechanisms. It filters out disease-causing organisms, such as viruses and bacteria; distributes fluids and nutrients in the body; and, drains excess fluids and protein so that tissues do not swell. However, the lymphatic system has no central pump. Its movement is dependent on muscular contraction, breathing, and manual manipulation, such as massage.
In this 4.5-hour CE course on lymphatic massage, Meade Steadman, LMT, discusses how the lymphatic system works and how manual lymphatic drainage massage can help promote the proper function of this critical system. He demonstrates the strokes used in lymphatic massage and a complete routine for providing manual lymphatic drainage on the body for both men and women.
In addition to written text, video excerpts are included for discussion of the topics and for visual, step-by-step demonstrations of lymphatic drainage massage techniques. Also included are: benefits and contraindications and post-treatment recommendations. Resources are included for licensing and further information.
