This class is designed to teach advanced lymphatic techniques to move lymph from the small and large intestine.

Prerequisites: The 10-week Lymphatic Drainage course in 2017 or later. In addition to Cumberland classes above, each therapist should also have taken a minimum of one of the following:

• C321 – Fascial Freedom Techniques taught at Cumberland OR
• Myofascial Release 1 by John Barnes
• T502 – Craniosacral Therapy 10-week class taught at Cumberland OR
• Upledger’s CS1 Certification

The Advanced Lymphatic Drainage Technique class is a part of the Advanced Lymphatics Abdominal series presented by Denise Gleason, LMT, CLT.  This class will discuss the overall function of the Small (excluding duodenum) and large intestine including the seasonal cycle and 24 hour cycle of the two systems.   The class will also provide you with tools to assess from client’s problem description and actions, if these two systems need to be addressed during their session by learning to recognize emotional and physical components. Additionally, the class will touch on the visceral connections of the small and large intestine and how that can affect other parts of the body.  Lastly, you will be taught a Lymphatic Drainage Technique routine that will help to move the lymphatics of the small and large intestine.  

The review is minimal, so be sure that you have been actively using the lymphatic full body sequence. Lymphatic Drainage is the basis for this class and will be demonstrating how to integrate with other modalities.
