LYMPHATIC MASSAGE:
The lymphatic system is the major drainage system of the body. It plays a key role in the surveillance and defense of the body, it functions in immune response, it assists in the maintenance of fluid balance by draining fluid from the tissues, and returning vital substances back to the blood stream.
In this hands-on course you will learn skills to assist the functioning of this vital system, and skills to enhance your clients treatments. You will gain knowledge of the functions of the Lymphatic System, diseases and effects of poor Lymphatic performance and contraindications. To assist your clients' sense of wellbeing and recovery you will gain competency in various techniques. By integrating the nervous system you will learn to locate Neurolymphatic reflex points and become skilled in Neurolymphatics palpation.

You will be aware that fascial tissue surrounds and fuses with every structure of the body, enveloping muscles, organs and nerves.
