Advanced Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Post-Surgery Aftercare Training Course
Introduction
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a specialised massage technique that focuses on stimulating the lymphatic system, which plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's immune system and fluid balance. By applying gentle, rhythmic movements, MLD promotes lymph flow, reduces swelling, and enhances the body's natural healing processes. This technique is particularly beneficial for individuals recovering from surgeries, as it aids in reducing post-operative edema and enhances the healing process.
While Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is beneficial, it may not suffice in cases where complications like significant hard edema, the formation of scar tissue and fibrosis occur or bad irregularities. This prompted us to innovate and create specialised advanced massage techniques aimed at managing all types of complications that can arise after cosmetic surgery. These advanced techniques have undergone testing and have shown a remarkable 100% effectiveness rate.
Combining advanced Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) with our specialised massage techniques provides you with the ultimate toolkit to effectively address any complications that may arise when treating your patients. This comprehensive approach ensures that you're equipped to handle a wide range of challenges that could occur post-cosmetic surgery.
