Lymphatic Drainage CEU Course – Outline and Learning Outcomes

First, by examining a list of this class’s learning objectives, you’ll understand what you can expect to gain from participating in this course. And, secondly–and perhaps even more importantly–you stand to gain as an adult learner. When taking on new information as an adult, there are both disadvantages to be overcome (maybe it’s been awhile since you’ve been in school) as well as advantages to be harnessed (you’re motivated, focused, and probably more interested in the content than the average college student). As a result of preparing you for what the course will cover, reading through the learning objectives will help to increase your level of retention throughout the course and aid in making your learning more effective and efficient.

In layman’s terms, our continuing education course will cover the history of the technique, its benefits, various contraindications, and an effective sequence of techniques for you to use in your massage practice.

That said, let’s go into more detail. After completing this course, you’ll have a better understanding of the following:

Describe How and Why Lymphatic Drainage Works

Manual Lymphatic drainage helps remove metabolic waste, excess water, toxins, bacteria, large protein molecules, and foreign substances. It can also be used to reduce pain signals sent to the brain, and relaxes the sympathetic nervous system. MLD helps the body heal more quickly from surgical trauma, which leads to less scar formation.
They lymphatic system extends throughout most of the body. It includes structures such as lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels, and organs including the spleen and thymus.

The lymphatic system is considered part of the circulatory system because it circulates lymph. Unlike the venous and arterial systems, it doesn’t have a centralized pump (like the heart). Instead, it relies on voluntary muscle contractions to stimulate the flow of lymphatic fluid through lymph vessels.

Lymphatic fluid includes extracellular fluid and waste products from cells throughout the body. It also transports antigens from one area of the body to another, helping fight infection. Both these actions are vital parts of immune function.

What are CEUs, and Why are They Important?

Your continuing education as a massage professional involves two important components. On the one hand, your daily experience in the clinic provides you with a practical education that’s an absolute necessity to your professional growth. At the same time, however, it’s equally essential to continue your education in a more traditional way. If you’re wondering how you can do that, we’re here to help. Massage CEUs, or Continuing Education Units (GUIDE TO LMT CONTINUING EDUCATION), are an excellent way to keep learning long after you’ve graduated from a massage program.

And while massage CEUs are a huge part of professional development, they’re also often a legal requirement. In most states, all licensed practitioners are required to take a certain number of CEU hours (NCBTMB GUIDE) each year (or sometimes every two to three years) in order to keep their license current.

As an NCBTMB Approved Provider of CEUs, Panda Massage CEU can provide you with quality education that fulfills state and national requirements.
