In LDT2, you'll review and hone existing skills plus learn valuable refinements and advanced drainage techniques for all surface areas of the body, along with numerous pathological conditions. You will learn the foundational principles of lymphedema care. At the end of the course, you should be able to drain the superficial lymphatic circulation over the entire body as well as the cisterna Chyli, the breast tissue, and perform Lympho-Fascia Release (LFR) on some viscera.

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is one of the most powerful therapeutic techniques I have ever learned or experienced. Using LDT, I have successfully treated patients with diagnosis ranging from acute conditions such as athletic injuries, edema, headaches and sinus infections, to chronic problems of the respiratory system, as well as the musculoskeletal system such as chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia. Dr. Chikly''s work has definitely changed my approach to treating patients.
Janet Weiss Quate, LPT, CNMT
Incorporating Lymph Drainage Therapy into my practice has added an essential component to my work. Palpating obstructions in the lymph flow gives me important diagnostic information, resistant conditions are clearing much quicker, and patients are noticing immediate changes. This text is a comprehensive and much needed addition to the literature in the field of lymphatic techniques.
Signy Erickson, DC, CST-D
As an occupational therapist, lymphatic drainage therapy is one of my most important tools. I use it for many different conditions including hand therapy, post surgical recovery, scar treatment, pain, swelling, arthritis, back and neck conditions and lymphedema. Lymph is the fluid of life which I am able to enhance with my clients. This book is an important addition to the scientific literature.
Liz Blum, OTR
Dr. Bruno Chikly has significantly refined lymphedema therapy by creating manual lymphatic mapping (MLM). MLM provides the skill of assessing the rhythm, direction, and other qualities of lymphatic flow dynamically. The physician or therapist is enabled to monitor the patient''s progress by palpation throughout the therapy. Manual Lymphatic Mapping is an important complimentary skill for the repertory of established Vodder or Földi trained therapists.
Frank Gentzke, MS, LMT - Vodder certified Manual Lymphedema Therapist
I have practiced lymphatic drainage for more than 20 years and have studied many different lymphatic techniques. I never saw such quick and dramatic results as I did witnessing Dr. Chikly''s work. I am very impressed.
Sarita Rodriguez - Director of Beautician Association of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Here is an extensive compilation of material regarding the anatomy and physiology of the lymph system, the pathophysiology of lymphedema, as well as its history, diagnosis and treatment... The book provides insight for those just beginning a study of the subject as well as comprehensive reference for the experienced.
Marilyn Miller - Certified Lymphedema Therapist, Member North American Vodder Association of Lymphatic Therapy and NCTMB
Understanding lymphatic drainage therapy has stimulated the "silent waters" in my clients/patients. Your unique application of LDT has led to a profound effect on my massage therapy sessions with my clients/patients.
