Description
Course Description:
Practitioners enjoy learning the anatomy and physiology behind the mysteries of the lymph system to accelerate healthy lymphocyte production and flow, while eradicating toxins that lead to inflammation, weight gain and cellulite. Promoted for both its health and beauty benefits, MLD has become among America’s most requested modalities by physicians who recommend it and are recommending they seek a MLD practitioner in “the spa.”
The combination of relaxation with MLD strokes aids in accelerated healing and rejuvenation of tissues to support a natural approach to anti-aging. The full body spa style protocol taught in the course utilizes the gentle strokes taught by Dr. Vodder that is painless to both the practitioner and the client and learn how and why it pairs perfectly with other modalities in the spa, and why Hollywood celebrities have spoken openly about utilizing the technique to get “red carpet” ready the natural way.
You will also learn indications, contraindications, compression education, research and documentation for marketing written by doctors who promote and utilize MLD in practice. Photos shot on location at Florida med-spa facilities, compliments of MLD Institute Advisory Board physicians.
