Expand your understanding of the blood, lymph, and interstitial fluids, including applications to humans, animals, and plants. Apply your LDT techniques to the central nervous system (pia and dura), vessels, semi-circular canal, and other areas.

• Mapping of the superficial and deep lymph flow, the layers of fascia, and interstitial fluid stagnations. No-mapping" zone
• Interstitial fluid release, with applications for edema, fascia, muscles, skin (i.e., scars and acne), and articulations (ethmoid, sacroiliac, and coccyx)

• Manual Lymphatic Mapping (MLM): superficial and deep MLM, no mapping zone (NMZ)

• Semi-circular canal release for tinnitus and vertigo
• Applications of venous techniques
• Significance of centrifugal/centripetal rhythm
• Methods to assess and release the ventricles of the brain and the spinal canal
• Drainage of the dura and pia mater
• Lympho-fascia release (LFR)
• Applications to viscera: Pericardium, stomach, the root of the mesentery, ovaries, and colon
• Microanatomy / microphysiology: applications for cells and organelles.

Attire/Supplies:

Bring comfortable, loose-fitting clothes. Some of these approaches require touching exposed skin, we encourage you to bring a bath towel, lab clothes, and appropriate undergarments so that you are comfortable.

Short fingernails are required for some techniques.

Due to the potential chemical sensitivities of your classmates, please refrain from wearing perfumes or oils to class.

Please contact the Institute if you can bring a massage table to the class.

Preparation:

Please read the following sections in Silent Waves:
Part 1 chapter 8, the immune cells; Part 5 chapter 8,9,10,13,14,and 15; Part 6 chapter 1 and 3.
An in-depth advanced study of anatomy is important for this class. Review the list of words and see where your stand with your knowledge. We have provided a list of terms below you need to study before attending this course.
1. Review the following plates in Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy (1st Edition Netter=1E, 2nd Edition Netter=2E, 3rd Edition Netter=3E, 4th Edition Netter=4E)
