Practical Applications of Manual
Lymphatic Therapy Enhancing Patient Outcomes in a Variety of Care Settings
PROGRAM DETAILS
As a therapist, you have probably experienced "burnout" from time to time,
seeing the same diagnoses and performing the same types of treatments from day
to day with often moderate outcomes. Have you ever had a patient whose pain
level did not respond no matter what? How about the total knee patient whose
swelling didn't leave the joint no matter how much electrical stimulation, ice
and retrograde massage you administered? Do you see patients with impaired gait
or other functional limitations due to swollen limbs? Patients with wounds that
won't heal? Have you encountered clients who cannot tolerate traditional
therapies due to autoimmune conditions such as fibromyalgia? Manual lymphatic
therapy can help alleviate swelling (lymphedema), relieve pain and improve
patient outcomes in a variety of settings, with results that are significant,
measurable and often quickly achieved. This one day seminar provides an overview
and practical knowledge of manual lymphatic therapy - what it is, what it can
do and how to properly apply the techniques in specific clinical cases.
Participants will examine the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of lymphedema,
the indications and contraindications for manual lymphatic therapy, and will
perform the techniques in a hands-on lab. You will return to the clinic with a
"new set of glasses" for evaluating clients and new treatment strategies to
implement immediately.

experiencing the effects of trauma, surgery, cancer therapy, pain, dental
