"Massage Courses & Sports Massage Courses at the London School of Massage, the UK's most successful school for massage and body therapy training. Massage courses and training in London and throughout the UK"
Some of the massage courses and training we offer include:
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage involves the application of specific light techniques which assist in the movement of lymph, thereby assisting in the decongestion of the lymphatic and circulatory systems.
The Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage course taught at the London School of Massage provides training in the theory and practice of this gentle but highly effective form of massage and develops on from diploma courses in massage and/or sports massage.
The course is intended to give practitioners a wider understanding in the therapeutic treatment of patients where the immune system has been compromised as well as adding to the arsenal of tools which are available for carrying out a Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage treatment, excluding lymphodema.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage techniques can be used in conjunction with many other therapies and the course will explore the many other disciplines in which this can be incorporated.
It is a course qualification which on completion will allow the practitioner to obtain full professional insurance. Please check with your Insurance provider as companies vary on their standards of cover for this therapy.
