Lymph Drainage Massage Courses?

[scip779io]

Anybody know of any lymph drainage massage courses run in Northern Ireland? I've read about this specialist area of massage and consider it to be very interesting indeed, hence would love an opportunity to learn more about it!

Thanking you

Have a look at mlduk.org.uk. Tells you about the medically recognised techniques of Manual Lymphatic Drainage and the courses available.

Thanks for this response - will certainly have a look

Why not have a look around and see if anyone near you offers vacuum suction as that is ideal for lymph drainage.

Learn MLD first - 'vacuum suction' is not recommended for use on people who have a compromised lymphatic system.

Thanks - my interest is genuinely to learn about MLD as i've found from my massage experience that some clients respond very well indeed to superficial (if I can describe it as such) massage and with an emphasis on strokes in direction of major lymph node clusters. I can comment on one client that has been really tense and who has had lots of areas of tenderness who was benefitting, then relaxed on frequency of treatment, got shingles and was told by a physiotherapist that she could have anticipated this happening. Why? The physio, more qualified than myself, was alert to nerve end sensitivity (i'm told). However I knew of the client's physical and mental states and believe my treatment to have been of benefit, hence a desire to learn MLD
