Classic Manual Lymphatic Drainage Diploma

This course is aimed at Therapists who hold a Swedish Body Massage Diploma or equivalent Diploma and a Diploma in Anatomy & Physiology, who are looking to extend their holistic therapies career.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a type of gentle massage which is intended by proponents to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph from the tissues space body. The lymph system depends on intrinsic contractions of the smooth muscle cells in the walls of lymph vessels (peristalsis) and the movement of skeletal muscles to propel lymph through the vessels to lymph nodes and then beyond the lymph nodes to the lymph ducts which return lymph to the cardiovascular system. Manual lymph drainage uses a specific amount of pressure (less than 9 ounces per square inch) and rhythmic circular movements to stimulate lymph flow. 

This non-invasive, painless, and very effective therapy for lymphedema and other related conditions, it has been used in Europe successfully for decades and is now becoming widely recognised.

MLD has been proven to aid in the absorption of toxins, assist the body in deep cleansing, stimulate fluid circulation and the work of the immune system, absorb fat molecules, induce deep relaxation, and activate antispasmodic actions.
