Course

Reflexology Lymph Drainage is a ground breaking and award winning technique, which may be used to help reduce lymphoedema after treatment for breast cancer. RLD is also useful for clients with other (non-cancer related) more common conditions. 

The aim is to stimulate the function of the lymphatic system and drain excess lymph from the damaged area. This is done using a problem specific reflexology technique. 

The course teaches specific reflexology techniques for lymphatic drainage via the feet.  The focus is primarily on reducing secondary lymphoedema, a swelling in the arm following treatment for breast cancer.  You will learn how to measure the fluid volume of the arm before and after draining of the excess lymph via reflexology.

This is an evidence based course that includes the results from the existing research.  You will learn how to conduct a case study or series, using arm volume measurements as the primary outcome measure and a method of collecting and analysing additional subjective data. 

Lymphatic drainage massage (MLD) can be used to treat conditions other than lymphoedema, and RLD may be used similarly. 
MLD may be useful with the following conditions 

• Arthritis
• Asthma
• Eczema 

• Chronic fatigue 
• Fibromyalgia
• ME 

• Sinus problems
• Migraines 
• Headaches

• Muscular tension 
• Aches and pains  
• Premenstrual Syndrome 

RLD is a unique evidence based course for reflexologists.

Comments from previous RLD course evaluations include, “very exciting new techniques with powerful results” – “fantastic technique”– “will recommend to other reflexologists”
