Lymphatic Massage

Lymphatic massage is a gentle, often rhythmic type of bodywork developed in Europe and is growing in popularity in the United States. Several forms of lymphatic massage are used to enhance immune function, treat edema (fluid retention) and lymphedema and for esthetic applications.

In this course students will be introduced not only to the theory of lymphatic massage, but also to the practice. They will learn enough of each to provide safe and effective basic lymphatic work to their current clients, and also to offer lymphatic massage to a wider scope of clients where appropriate.
