In this two-day lecture and lab-based class, we will explore exciting new studies as well as learn the practical applications of Neuro-Lymphatic Therapy (NLT) for the purposes of tissue and central nervous system (CNS) detoxification. NLT can assist in decreasing the clinical manifestations of neurological and autoimmune diseases. Due to hands-on labs, this is a small class and will fill quickly—register soon!

Note: It is recommended that participants wear comfortable clothes for labs.

Audience

Occupational Therapists & Assistants; Physical Therapists & Assistants; Massage Therapists; and Nurses or other healthcare professionals with a background in Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

Objectives

Upon conclusion of this educational activity, the participant will be able to:

check Correlate the physiology of the lymphatic function to the physiology of the CNS and properly identify basic lymphatic and CNS anatomy via palpation or anatomical chart
check Find and reference research articles which demonstrate the anatomical and/or physiological links between common CNS disorders and the lymphatic system
check List indications and contraindications for NLT
check Demonstrate the proper hand positions of cranial, therapy and the hand placements for a general head and neck sequence; as well as the general thorax, spine, and abdominal sequence of NLT
check Instruct the client/patient in basic self-care routines of NLT to extend therapy sessions and facilitate self-management
check Describe how CNS disease processes affect functional movement, range of motion, and pain
check List the rationale of each of the five concepts of MLD and how they relate to the anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system
check Identify indications of lymphatic and cerebrospinal fluid stagnation, explain how this can influence function and pain, and describe what manual interventions should be used
