Product Description

Review

"This book aims to describe the scientific principles that underline manual lymph drainage."

"Treatment strokes and stroke sequences are then described for specific body areas, as well as hand placement, pressure and movement. These chapters, indeed the whole book, are extensively illustrated with photos and/or illustrations on nearly every page."

Matthew Boylan. Journal of the Australian Traditional-Medicine Society, June 2006

Book Description

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).

5.0 out of 5 stars MLD in pictures ..., Jun 4 2008

By kre8iv1 - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Foundations of Manual Lymph Drainage, 3e (Paperback)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good reference, Jun 7 2008

This review is from: Foundations of Manual Lymph Drainage, 3e (Paperback)

I am a massage therapist. Lymphatic massage can be a great tool to have on your belt. This book gives you a good start and as an add on to your practice. It is no substitute for a formal program such as Vodder, nor is any book or video. It is a great way to help you decide if you wish to invest the time and money in formal training. Glad I bought it.

3.0 out of 5 stars not for me, May 31 2010

By Mary K. Carlson - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Foundations of Manual Lymph Drainage, 3e (Paperback)

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.
