MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE

12 CE Hybrid Course

4 CE Online Home Study + 8 CE Live Hands-On Training

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is very different from traditional massage.

The 4 CE online home study introduces participants to lymphatic anatomy and physiology, foundational MLD principles, important safety considerations and professional scope, and the principles of pressure, rhythm, and hand movement needed before beginning hands-on training.

During the 8 CE live seminar, Massage Therapists learn and practice four hands-on Manual Lymphatic Drainage techniques following the original Vodder Method of MLD.

The emphasis is on developing the:

• Gentle pressure
• Precise rhythm
• Proper hand placement
• Controlled hand movements
• Movement quality that distinguishes MLD from traditional massage techniques

Therapists work in pairs so each participant has the opportunity to perform and receive the techniques.

The instructor demonstrates each technique, guides participants through practice, observes technique application, and provides individual feedback and correction.

The goal is to develop a practical foundation and greater confidence applying introductory Manual Lymphatic Drainage techniques appropriately within the massage and spa setting.
