The Lymphatic System and Lymphatic DrainageThe lymphatic system plays an underestimated role in the health of our bodies. Functions of this system include the absorption of excess fluid anywhere in the body and its return to the blood stream, the absorption of trapped toxins and hormones in the body's cells, and critical support for the bodys immune system. It also helps to lubricate joints, flush respiratory areas, and helps the body recover from workouts and periods of stress. It is a waste removal and nutritional fluid balancer, carrying proteins and body substances from superficial skin areas to the the deep organ cavities of the body. Unlike our blood, lymphatic fluid does not use the heart as a pump. Lymph transport (or drainage) primarily depends upon the contraction of skeletal musclesthus the importance of exercise. A body which is not moving will begin to stagnate in more ways than one! Manual Lymphatic Drainage can increase the flow of lymph up to 20 TIMES it's usual rate. These courses will teach you how to add lymph drainage to existing sessions and how to provide hour-long lymphatic drainage therapy sessions on people without a systemic illness. Learn More

Certification Exams
Obtaining certification in lymphatic drainage shows competency in the work. Rather than having just a certificate of completion or attendance, this certificate shows that you know what you are doing. Your certification can be provided to employers, patients, other health professionals, and more.
The written portion of the certification exam includes multiple choice questions that center on the anatomy, physiology and history of the lymphatic system and lymphatic drainage. It includes using the names and understanding the application of techniques to the body. Ther are a few questions in essay format that require writing out a few sentences for each question.
Certification exams are available to students who complete this track of education at the end of every Practicum Two course. At present, there is a $75 exam fee, which covers the administrative costs of credentialing your education. Participants who want more supervised learning can also opt to re-take any course an additional time for a low cost before taking a certification exam. The certification fee is paid at the time of taking the written portion of the exam.
