Exploring the Essential Features of “Elisa DiFalco – Manual Lymph Drainage Certification Course”
When you add manual lymph drainage to your arsenal of tools, you’re tapping into a system that many practitioners are completely overlooking.

You’re essentially harnessing the natural power of the body to restore function!

- Quickly assess for and identify the root cause of the issue using an evidence-based framework.
- Develop a condition specific MLD protocol that easily fits into your treatment session.

- Dramatically change or even reverse disease.
Whether you’re a new therapist or seasoned practitioner, this must have certification course will provide valuable insight for incorporating MLD in the clinical setting. You’ll walk away with strategies that you can implement immediately!
The lymphatic system: the rehabilitation powerhouse that is somehow forgotten by many practitioners.
These patients have been from doctor to doctor without finding results, struggling to find relief from swelling, heaviness, tightness, aching and soreness. The lymph system is integral for dealing with inflammation and with these targeted manual lymph drainage (MLD) techniques, you can provide the treatment that breaks through with even the most complex patients!
MLD is a time-tested and evidence-based technique that uses gentle manual strokes that are specifically designed to reduce inflammation, bruising, scarring and pain — all while reducing the physical demands on you, the practitioner.
Many surgeons are now recommending manual lymph drainage (MLD) for their patients due to its ability to accelerate healing. From joint replacement to plastic surgery, MLD is the “must have” modality when treating edema, bruising, pain and scars.
In this extensive certification course, you’ll be fully equipped to develop a MLD protocol that easily fits into your treatment session.
With your newfound skills that activate healthy lymph nodes, increase venous return and facilitate drainage from the affected limb, the patient’s search for help stops with you! You’ll become the go-to resource for alleviating swelling, heaviness, tightness and aching from a myriad of conditions.
Help your patients get their lives back with this brief and gentle treatment!
