The lymph system depends on intrinsic contractions of the smooth muscle cells in the walls of lymph vessels and the movement of skeletal muscles to propel lymph through the vessels to lymph nodes and then beyond the lymph nodes to the lymph ducts which return lymph to the cardiovascular system. Lymphatic Massage is a very gentle manual treatment that is proven to reduce swelling by dramatically enhancing the function of the lymphatic system. Lymphatic Massage is also known to improve the quality of sleep\, decrease pain\, calm the nervous system\, and benefit the immune system. This technique will greatly benefit your clients who have: \n\nsoft-tissue injuries;\nrheumatoid arthritis;\nhigh stress levels/anxiety disorders;\nfibromyalgia or chronic fatigue;\nsurgical trauma/edema;\nmigraine headaches;\ncancer/oncology diagnosis;\nsinus congestion or allergies;\nmild\, medically-uncomplicated lymphedema;\nclients in hospice or palliative care;\n\nPart 2 will: \nIncorporate a review of Part 1 and then picks up where we left off. This portion focuses on the application of lymphatic drainage techniques to fully clear each part of the body. We will cover how to clear the full anterior and posterior body as well as the time requirements for each.\,/p> \nLymphatic Certifications\nAfter completing Part 1 and Part 2\, practice\, practice\, practice. When you feel you are ready\, retake PART 2. On Day one of the class there will be a chance to practice\, to iron out any last kinks. On Day 2 when the full body practical is performed\, you will be evaluated on the skills you perform. IF you show you are competent and safely applying all the techniques taught in Part 1 and Part 2\, you will receive a Lymphatic Massage Certification. Attendance alone does not guarantee a Certification\, you must demonstrate proper application of ALL techniques. \nBecause this course is 12 hours hands on\, please bring sheets and lotion to class.\nNCBTMB Approved Provider # 451292-10 \nSupplies\nTwo twin set of sheets\nLotion and cream (No oil based products) \nClass Info\nTimes: Day 1: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm // Day 2: 9:00 am – 1:00 pm\nClass: Lymphatic Drainage Part 2 Routines\nCEU’s: 12\nPrice: $225 \n\n \n \n \n \n\nClass Capacity: 24\n*Refunds are subject to a $10 processing fee. \nLocation: Ģý College – Lilburn\, 4230 Lawrenceville Hwy\, Ste 11\, Lilburn\, GA 30047 \nContact: Please call us at (770) 381-7200 if you have any questions. \nRefunds: No refunds within 2 weeks of class.

When it comes to this type of trauma\, all muscles respond the exact same way. They contract. If the muscles are contracted\, the individual loses not only range of motion\, but also muscle strength. The basis of Kinetic Musculorehab Technique is to learn how to treat muscles using their plane of action. This course teaches how to merge passive range of motion with other muscle release techniques\, allowing relief from pain through the elongation of the muscle fibers. This technique helps in breaking apart adhesion and scar tissue that limit muscle flexibility and length. By including ROM with treatment\, you will be able to use less pressure and get the desired results. \nWe will be covering common muscular injuries such as Piriformis Syndrome\, Psuedo Sciatica\, Shin Splints\, Plantar Fasciitis\, among others. \nThis course will be 12 hours and cover two days. \nBecause this course is 12 hours hands on\, please bring sheets and lotion to class.\nNCBTMB Approved Provider # 451292-10 \nSupplies\nTwo twin set of sheets\nLotion and cream (No oil based products) \nClass Info\nTimes: Day 1: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm // Day 2: 9:00 am – 1:00 pm\nClass: KMT – Lower Extremities\nCEU’s: 12\nPrice: $225 \n\n \n \n \n \n\nClass Capacity: 24\n*Refunds are subject to a $10 processing fee. \nLocation: Ģý College – Lilburn\, 4230 Lawrenceville Hwy\, Ste 11\, Lilburn\, GA 30047 \nContact: Please call us at (770) 381-7200 if you have any questions. \nRefunds: No refunds within 2 weeks of class.

The lymph system depends on intrinsic contractions of the smooth muscle cells in the walls of lymph vessels and the movement of skeletal muscles to propel lymph through the vessels to lymph nodes and then beyond the lymph nodes to the lymph ducts which return lymph to the cardiovascular system. Lymphatic Massage is a very gentle manual treatment that is proven to reduce swelling by dramatically enhancing the function of the lymphatic system. Lymphatic Massage is also known to improve the quality of sleep\, decrease pain\, calm the nervous system\, and benefit the immune system. This technique will greatly benefit your clients who have: \n\n\n\nsoft-tissue injuries\nrheumatoid arthritis\n\n\n\n\nhigh stress levels/anxiety disorders\nfibromyalgia or chronic fatigue\nsurgical trauma/edema\nmigraine headaches\ncancer/oncology diagnosis\nsinus congestion or allergies\nmild\, medically-uncomplicated lymphedema\nclients in hospice or palliative care\n\nPart 1 will: \n\nDescribe basic anatomy\, physiology of the lymph system and main body fluids.\nExplain the scientific principles behind Lymph Drainage Therapy\, and why the lymphatic system plays a crucial role in recovering from disease and enhancing health.\nExplain the importance of the lymphatic system and how it relates to blood and other body fluids.\nDescribe main indications and contraindications.\nPerform techniques that help you move lymph and interstitial fluid through the body to cleanse it of toxins.\nDescribe the main specific locations of lymph nodes and lymph vessels\nPut treatments and self-help techniques right away into practice.\n\nLymphatic Certification\nAfter completing Part 1 and Part 2\, practice\, practice\, practice.
