Description
With 14 years clinic experience in the area of post-cancer lymphatic drainage and combined decongestive therapy, your instructor teaches you everything you need to know about managing your health after cancer treatment. If you've had lymph nodes removed or radiated during cancer treatment or other surgery, you now have a damaged lymphatic system, an issue which cannot be reversed. What does that mean for your future-health, and what can you do about it? This is a unique opportunity to learn from an experienced, registered MLD therapist, Personal Trainer and Yoga Instructor. The course explains everything from how the lymphatic system works, to what happens when it's been damaged, teaches you how to perform self/simple lymphatic drainage or massage, tips on nutrition to support your lymphatic system, exercise and yoga to improve the flow of your lymphatic system, meditation to help you manage stress, and much more. This easy to follow, self-study course will empower you and support you to live your best life while recovering from cancer, and beyond. The tips and techniques you will learn in this course can be used to help improve the results you achieve with an MLD therapist and/or help you to manage your lymphatic system if you have developed lymphedema or are at risk of developing this condition as a result of cancer treatment. Everyone who has been touched by cancer should take this course!
