Virtual Pre- & Post-Op Manual Lymphatic Drainage Mentoring Program

OVERVIEW

Our Virtual Pre- & Post-Op Manual Lymphatic Drainage Mentoring Program provides hands-on guidance, professional support, and education for practitioners looking to strengthen their knowledge and confidence in lymphatic care before and after surgery.

Through virtual mentoring sessions, participants learn how to approach pre-operative preparation, post-operative lymphatic support, client communication, treatment planning, and appropriate aftercare. The program focuses on developing safe, effective, and individualized approaches while helping practitioners recognize when a client may require medical referral or additional professional evaluation.

Mentoring may include:

  • Pre-operative client preparation and education

  • Post-operative manual lymphatic drainage principles

  • Treatment sequencing and session planning

  • Understanding normal versus concerning post-operative changes

  • Client positioning, comfort, and communication

  • Developing individualized care plans

  • Practitioner confidence and technique refinement

  • Case-study discussions and troubleshooting

  • Professional boundaries, documentation, and referral considerations

  • Ongoing mentorship and support

Whether you are expanding your services, refining your existing skills, or seeking additional guidance with post-operative clients, this virtual program is designed to provide education, mentorship, and practical support in a convenient online format.

Goal: To help practitioners build greater confidence, consistency, and clinical awareness when supporting clients through their pre- and post-operative lymphatic care journey.

It is HIGHLY recommended that you have attended a basic MLD course for a more comprehensive understanding of the lymphatic system.

 

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is the mimicking of the lymphatic system. Post-operatively, lymphatic therapy is utilized to not only mimic but to wake it up, redirect lymph fluids, aid as an analgesic effect, and help with reabsorption after a major trauma (liposuction, etc). This course is NOT instruction on pushing fluid (squeeze massage/incisional drainage) from drain holes as seen on recent YouTube and TikTok videos etc. However, this does involve patients with/without drains and potential work requiring proper PPE. The courses include didactics, and hands-on labs for palpation skin labs, positioning, and treatment sequencing. Didactics will also address anatomy, vocab, stages of recovery and swelling/tissue morphology per healing stage, garment wear, state laws/reg's, scope of practice, standards of care, documentation, marketing, plus so much more!!!

This course is offered to instruct individuals on proper Lymphatic Therapy techniques and care post-operatively.
