MLD and long-COVID

It seems there is a news report every day on the growing problem of long-COVID, now begin referred to as a “mass disabling event”. Early reports from Dr Vodder Therapists indicate that Applied MLD is offering relief for people experiencing fatigue and brain fog, skeletal muscular aches and pains, and breathing difficulties. This webinar will review the role of the lymph system in recovery after viral infection and discuss case reports and treatment planning from a lymphatic perspective.
