Class Description:
Lymph Drainage Therapy is a cutting edge hands-on method of lymphatic drainage developed by Bruno Chikly, MD, DO, LMT.
It was created out of his award-winning research on the lymphatic system consistent with recent scientific discoveries.
In LDT3, you'll continue to hone your application skills to increase your effectiveness as well as learn numerous technique subtleties to expand your practice range. This advanced class covers deeper lymph and interstitial flow. Dr. Chikly sometimes considers LDT3 the real start of the LDT curriculum.
You will learn techniques to address the organ of the senses viscera and body joints. Advanced class preparation is highly recommended (see below).
