Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a manual technique which uses a range of gentle rhythmic pumping techniques to move the skin in the direction of the lymph flow. This stimulates the lymphatic vessels that carry substances vital to the defense of the body, and removes waste products. This DVD will give you all you need to know about Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage with 60 Techniques, Face & Body Routines, and Self Massage on Face.
This beautiful DVD will guide you through the anatomy of the lymphatic system, the location of nodes and drainage patterns, as well as contraindications and indications for lymphatic drainage massage. Then Sean Riehl leads you step by step through over 60 techniques covering the face and body. With a clear presentation and hundreds of computer graphics, learning Lymphatic Drainage has never been easier. Also included are techniques to perform Lymphatic Drainage on yourself, as well as an interview with Allan Mills, a prominent Lymphatic Drainage therapist.
Review :
This DVD provides a solid introduction to those interested in or already taking courses on lymphatic drainage. The always-eloquent Sean Riehl provides clear and concise instructions and demonstrations. I recommend the video for its excellent production values, clear instruction, and for its informative introduction to the lymphatic system- Massage Today.
