Before doing this treatment if you are in any doubt about the suitability of your client ALWAYS seek professional advice and consent.

The lymphatic system is responsible for helping fluid and waste leave the body and for regulating the immune system. When the lymphatic system becomes blocked, fluid builds up and stagnates, causing the entire system to become toxic, making us feel sluggish and more susceptible to viral or contagious diseases. By stimulating this system through massage, it works more efficiently, which in turn boosts the immune system, clears blockages, eliminates toxins, transports nutrients to cells and increases the metabolism. The lymphatic system is responsible for the production of antibodies for the immune system and the technique improves the environment of the antibody, boosting its resistance to infection.

Lymph Nodes and Direction of Lymph Flow within the Body


What you will learn on this course?

Lymphatic drainage is essentially a form of massage carried out by a specialist practitioner. Unlike some other forms of massage, lymphatic drainage utilises a very light pressure combined with soft pumping movements in the direction of the lymph nodes. You will learn how to conduct this treatment massage safely and professionally also taking into account the importance in giving correct aftercare advice. You will also cover how to conduct a thorough consultation. **All students must have a Swedish Massage or Aromatherapy Massage Qualification prior to doing this course**
