This manual lymph drainage guide covers the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the lymphatic system, providing key background information necessary for effective treatment. Chapters are structured according to anatomic regions, focusing on the lymphatic knots and their tributary regions in the throat, armpit, trunk, and groin. Photographs illustrate the lymphatic knots and lymphatic courses, which are drawn on the human body, and provide a clear picture of the structures to be treated. Designated points are numbered to illustrate the progression of treatment in each region. Also includes coverage of complete decongestive therapy (CDT). Explains procedures in a detailed, step-by-step format. Features a helpful chart of lymph node groups and their tributary regions that outlines each lymph node as it pertains to a specific anatomical region. Key information is summarized in the margins, making it easier for readers to review what they've read and focus on important topics. Self-test questions provide an excellent means for readers to assess their comprehension and review key material in the book. These questions are also helpful in preparing for exams. Two-color illustrations help the reader visualize and learn theoretical aspects of this therapy. The text has been completely updated to reflect the latest techniques in lymph drainage therapy. Coverage of individual treatment strokes and stroke sequences have been updated, with more comprehensive descriptions and detailed photos that illustrate proper hand placement, pressure, and movement. Expanded coverage of complete decongestive therapy, including a CDT survey ― consisting of the case history, examination, and palpation ― that can be used to gather valuable information to formulate therapeutic goals and evaluate treatment results.

Good review...
Attended a lymph drainage 3 day seminar and learned a lot only to forget a lot of what I learned after a 3 month lag. Now I have a patient in need of this treatment and this book has been a great tool for refreshing my knowledge

MLD in pictures ...
I am a massage therapist, and I took a Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) class. This book was on the Resources list. It was a decision between this book and the $200 "Foeldi's Textbook of Lymphology". I purchased this book, and am GLAD I did! It sticks strictly to the task of MLD. It addresses the physiology of the lymphatic system only to the point of what I need to know as a MT (great diagrams and pictures of how things work). It shows the full MLD sequence in pictures (with markered-in arrows and lines on the model pointing the way to the correct drainage points) and descriptions. Since I do NOT wish to continue past MLD (into lymphedema treatment, etc) this is just perfect for me. This small book is also a great "primer" into further studies. If you wish to further your education into Lymphedema studies, then by all means purchase the $200 Foeldi book. If you wish to utilize MLD in a superficial, non-medical sense on folks who have NO medical issues [no lymph node removal, no previous cancer history, etc.] then this is the book to go with. PS ~ "Foeldi" and "Foldi" are the SAME AUTHOR. This smaller book is written by the same person who wrote the big book.

Great book
A lot of medical terminology but a very thorough guide to the lymphatic system!

good for a practicioner, not for a novice
This has a lot of knowledge that is important for basic knowledge. It is very very advanced. I would recommend you read it and then seek a massage school teacher to set up a technique

Good Reference Manaual
This book was a require companion to a Lymphatic Drainage class that I took for my massage therapy practice. While the diagrams and instructions are good, it is still no substitute for hands-on learning from a practicing expert who can give feedback and answer questions. I love having it to refer back to as needed.

not for me
this book was not what I actually wanted in lymph drainage manual, so I returned it. The mechanics of the book are great, but I wanted a more detailed hands on protocol.
