Track 1
109 - Decreasing Length of Stays and Increasing Outcomes in Orthopedic Populations with Manual Lymph Drainage
Carmen Thompson ,B.S., LPTA, CMT, CLT
In this course we will review the anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system as it pertains to treating orthopedic conditions, trauma and post-op edema. After learning the appropriate indications and contra-indications for treatment, participants will gain an overview of how manual lymphatic drainage can make a large impact with positive results in clients with orthopedic and post-op edema. By alleviating inflammatory edema and stimulating the lymphatic system, many patients have quick decreases in edema and pain. This will leave the patient and therapist time and energy to focus on meeting functional goals quickly and decrease the length of stay.
