Foundations of Manual Lymph Drainage

A lot of medical terminology but a very thorough guide to the lymphatic system!

I am a massage therapist, and I took a Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) class. This book was on the Resources list. It was a decision between this book and the $200 "Foeldi's Textbook of Lymphology".I purchased this book, and am GLAD I did!It sticks strictly to the task of MLD. It addresses the physiology of the lymphatic system only to the point of what I need to know as a MT (great diagrams and pictures of how things work).It shows the full MLD sequence in pictures (with markered-in arrows and lines on the model pointing the way to the correct drainage points) and descriptions.Since I do NOT wish to continue past MLD (into lymphedema treatment, etc) this is just perfect for me.This small book is also a great "primer" into further studies. If you wish to further your education into Lymphedema studies, then by all means purchase the $200 Foeldi book.If you wish to utilize MLD in a superficial, non-medical sense on folks who have NO medical issues [no lymph node removal, no previous cancer history, etc.] then this is the book to go with.PS ~ "Foeldi" and "Foldi" are the SAME AUTHOR. This smaller book is written by the same person who wrote the big book.

A very good introduction into the field of Manual Lymphatic Drainage. The book gives an impression that it was written in a hurry, and the presentation sequence has not been thought through. None the less, certainly a useful book. As a reader you would need to think the material through and organize it yourself.

If you are a massage therapist ... not necesarily one that does lymphatic drainage but knowledge of the lymphatic system is important. This is a small book with concise info and helpful illustrations. If you work with soft tissue you affect the lymphatic system and some knowledge can help you capitalize on that effect.

This has a lot of knowledge that is important for basic knowledge. It is very very advanced. I would recommend you read it and then seek a massage school teacher to set up a technique

This book was a require companion to a Lymphatic Drainage class that I took for my massage therapy practice. While the diagrams and instructions are good, it is still no substitute for hands-on learning from a practicing expert who can give feedback and answer questions. I love having it to refer back to as needed.

this book was not what I actually wanted in lymph drainage manual, so I returned it.The mechanics of the book are great, but I wanted a more detailed hands on protocol.

Informative and useful in my profession. Used it in a continuing ED course. My classmates and I shared ideas from this book.
