A Treatment Approach for Manual Lymph Drainage [Video]
by Debora Chasse, DPT, WCS
Lymph fluid has a normal transport pathway. During events of increased inflammation in the body, healing will proceed more quickly and effectively with “hands-on” assistance to move stagnant lymph fluid. This 30-minute video demonstrates how to independently do self manual lymph drainage step by step using correct sequencing and hand strokes. It has been authored to allow you to move to the applicable sections of the body. The results are phenomenal.
“The techniques used are very high quality and are well performed. Overall, this DVD provides very good visual instruction for entire body MLD. It is best used in conjunction with a skilled PT program so that complete understanding is achieved. I would recommend the MLD therapist consider this DVD for patient education and to augment home instruction.” Endorsed by the Journal of Women’s Health Physical Therapy. 30:2, Summer 2006.

Pelvic Pain Educational DVD
The pelvic pain educational DVD demonstrates a step-by-step procedure for performing manual lymph drainage on female patients with pelvic pain.

It concludes with manual lymph drainage for the pelvis, thighs, genitals and vagina. This video was produced for the women’s health physical therapist. Physical Therapists attending the Manual Lymph Drainage for Pelvic Pain seminar find this information to be beneficial for their patients and well as themselves.
