This 6-day MLD certification course is based on the techniques developed by Dr. Emil Vodder, Ph.D., MT.  When skillfully applied, this therapeutic form of soft-tissue mobilization dramatically enhances lymph formation and promotes drainage within the superficial and deep systems of the lymph vascular network. 
During this course, students will be instructed in anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system.  Basic MLD treatment sequences as well as MLD treatment sequences for mild, medically uncomplicated upper and lower extremity lymphedema will be demonstrated and practiced. 
Each day will be divided into two sections: theoretical and hands-on application.

OrthoBionomy Phase Five: 16 CEU Hours

Saturday and Sunday

9-6 

 Oct. 6-7, 2012

$275.00 

 The focus of Phase Five is to move to a more subtle level of awareness of the practice and principle of Ortho-Bionomy. Specific techniques develop and increase the student’s understanding and proprioceptive sensitivity to the self-corrective movements initiated by the client.  Through the practice of observing, following and supporting subtle movement patterns, muscular tension is released, range of motion is increased and pain is reduced.  In Phase Five, students are encouraged to do less and let the client be the guide for his/her exploration of change.

Prerequisite: one or two Basics/Phase Four classes.
