Dr Vodder’s Applied MLD

The original Dr Vodder techniques have stood the test of time and are still the gold standard on the treatment of acute and chronic oedema. Applied MLD can also be used to treat a wide range of conditions from releasing trigger points without pain to draining the cerebral space. Applied MLD uses gentle palpation to located and reduce inflammation and promote healing, and is an excellent therapy for ongoing management of many chronic symptoms. Following on from the successful ATMS webinar series, this Practical Workshop will review the fundamental techniques of the original Dr Vodder method, including drainage sequences for carpal tunnel and sinus congestion.
