Lymphatic Drainage Fundamentals

Are you frustrated by the high price ($1,000 +) for lymphatic drainage training? The LMT Success Group has put together a succinct and affordable continuing education program that will give you the knowledge and ability to immediately incorporate manual lymphatic drainage into your massage practice. This class is geared specifically to the massage professional and deals strictly with manual lymphatic drainage.  You will leave the class with very powerful skills in the field of manual lymphatic drainage. Even deep tissue work can be made more effective and easier on the massage therapist. This course does not include wrapping or wound care. Lymphatic drainage is a lucrative field and is in high demand as a preventative health care measure and presents a great opportunity for working with doctors in a variety of pre-and post-surgical procedures. 

Lymphatic Drainage Course Description

This course is designed for the massage therapist who wants to work with general detoxification, stimulating the immune system and general inflammation.  

• The instructor will provide you with a thorough yet easy-to-understand overview of the lymphatic system.
   
• You will observe, learn and practice specific lymphatic drainage procedures for the face and neck, upper and lower body supine, both prone and supine.
   
• You will have an opportunity to practice this treatment hands-on and trade with a partner so you will be able to receive this service as well. 
   

After completion of this course, you may enroll in the Lymphatic Drainage - Advanced Level course where you learn to apply these basic techniques to decongest fascia and work on post-op clients, including post-op Liposuction, Lymphedema and more.

As a licensed massage therapist, it is within your scope of practice to provide manual lymphatic drainage. No further credentials are necessary to provide this service. If in doubt, please check with your state’s Board of Massage. This class (Fundamentals) provides instruction on how to provide a full body lymphatic drainage treatment to a well individual. The Advanced Lymphatic class follows up on the protocol taught in the Fundamentals class and includes instruction on working with clients who are pre- and post-surgery or receiving medical care. These courses include manual techniques included in the scope and practice of massage therapists. Techniques such as measuring, wrapping and wound care are not typically included under the SOP of an LMT and are not included in this class
