Opening the Terminus - The Most Important Step in MLD
Lymphedema Therapist Kristin Sloan will teach you the Vodder technique to open up the terminus - the most important first step in manual lymphatic drainage.
You should join this class if:
You have lymphedema
You have/had cancer
You're curious about lymphatic drainage
You are welcome to attend and gain the knowledge, but you should NOT perform MLD on yourself during the class if any of the following apply to you:
Congestive Heart Failure
Thrombosis at risk of causing an embolism
Active infection with fever
MLD is manual lymphatic drainage and it's one of the four cornerstone treatments in managing lymphedema. For the most effective results you need to master the most important step first - opening the terminus!
Not at all! This informative class is geared towards those curious minds in the first stages of lymph discovery as well as those well versed in this fascinating system.
You sure will! After diving into the anatomy of the lymphatic system we will practice self manual lymphatic drainage on the neck (the most important location as you will learn). We will be reviewing Dr. Vodder style drainage, the golden standard for lymphatic drainage.
No! Manual lymph drainage is done only with our hands and no product. Easy squeezy!
