Lymphatic drainage massage (LDM) is a type of massage that stimulates the lymphatic system, which is a network of vessels and nodes that remove waste and toxins from the body and stimulate patients’ immune system. This healthcare course teaches you the fundamentals of this increasingly popular treatment. We begin with a brief overview of LDM and its benefits before explaining how to perform it. We then describe the lymphatic system’s role in circulation and examine the anatomy and origin of the lymphoid organs.

Lymphatic dysfunction occurs when the lymphatic system fails to function properly. The most common lymphatic malfunction is lymphedema, which is frequently caused by a blockage of this system. This course discusses the symptoms, stages and treatment options for lymphedema.
