My Search for the Importance of Aftercare in the Treatment of Lymphedema, Melanie Valentine OTR/L, LLCC, 2002

I would first like to say that I am always grateful to be given any opportunity to talk about lymphedema and its care. I acquired lymphedema in 2005, having had a severe parasitic infection (schistosomiasis), which went undiagnosed for three years. The infection caused the enlargement of my inguinal lymph nodes on the right side of my body, with subsequent scarring of those nodes. Prior, I had worked as an Occupational Therapist for nearly 10 years in a hospital based setting.

Scientific Snapshots

  • Can Lymphatic Drainage Reduce Intracranial Pressure (ICP)?

Between April 2013 and January 2015 133 patients were examined. TheirIntracranial Pressure (ICP), cerebral perfusion pressure, mean arterial pressure (MAP) were recorded continuously 15 min before a manual lymph drainage therapy procedure, and 15 min after the procedure.

The patients were divided into 2 groups:

Group 1, baseline ICP <15 mmHg before procedure, n = 99

  • NER-L is a profound, easy, and original way to release ligaments (and tendons). We will release and reset them using endodermic, mesodermic and ectodermic techniques or neural crest techniques. The technique feels amazing to receive, and the effects are often felt during the day as a warm unfolding.
  • Ligaments stabilize the whole bony structure. It is essential to work with them to align and strengthen the whole bony framework.

Lymph Drainage Therapy Overview (LDTO)Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) is an innovative hands-on method of lymphatic drainage developed by Bruno Chikly, MD, DO. It was created out of his award-winning research on the lymphatic system consistent with recent scientific discoveries. LDT1 takes traditional lymph drainage techniques and adds a level of precision.

 LDT Certification Programs

1. Lymph Drainage Therapy Technique Certification (LDT-T)

The Lymph Drainage Therapy Techniques Certification Program signifies advanced skills in the application of lymph drainage therapy. This certification involves extensive study, written exams, and hands-on testing. LDT-T is not a lymphedema certification program (see CLTC)

The LDT-T was formerly called LTC.
