Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) Education
In the last two decades Manual Lymphatic Drainage(MLD) has become an increasingly popular treatment modality in health clinics, hospitals and the beauty industry. It also gained importance as a complementary addition to already existing modalities such as massage therapy, physiotherapy and beauty therapy.
In order to cater for this increasing demand Hands On Institute of Lymphatics developed unique three & 4 day courses based on the treatment method of Casley-Smith. This method has proven to be highly effective and beneficial for patients and easy to adapt for professional therapists. All our courses are recognised by the Massage Association New Zealand (MNZ). Credit hours will be rewarded for ongoing professional development.Test your knowledge about MLD now and learn more about this amazing modaltiy by clicking the MLD quiz button underneath the education icon.
