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.
WHY THIS COURSE MATTERS
“Be the medicine in the room.”
In the last decade, lipedema has gone from an obscure diagnosis to a recognized and increasingly treated condition. As more surgeons specialize in lipedema procedures, the need for educated, highly skilled recovery specialists has grown. This course positions you to meet that need with confidence.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
This is not squeeze massage.
This course delivers true Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)—rooted in anatomy, clinical science, and modern best practices.

Identify lipedema and differentiate it from obesity, cellulite, and other adipose disorders
01
Understand how surgery impacts lymphatic flow in lipedema patients
02
Apply targeted early-intervention lymphatic therapy techniques
03
Safely work with/without drains using proper PPE
