Foundations of Manual Lymphatic Drainage: 3 Keys to Successful MLD Outcomes

Foundations of Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Course DirectorLISA DIFALCO, MSOT, LMT, CLT-LANA, began working for one of the pioneers of lymphedema treatment in the US, Dr. Robert Lerner, 20 years ago as a Lymphedema Specialist. Soon after, she became Clinic Director of the LTS Clinic in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Ms. DiFalco expanded the use of MLD to serve pediatric thru geriatric populations, hospice and pain management. Since then, she has played an active role in public and professional education as a published researcher, columnist, radio personality,

and college educator. Ms. DiFalco has a passion for MLD techniques. She found the outcomes of MLD to be so extraordinary that she felt compelled to continue her education in occupational therapy at Barry University so she would be able to educate professionals and the public as to its many benefits. Combining her LMT and OT backgrounds, Ms. DiFalco worked with leading plastic surgeons to refine MLD protocols for patient recovery. She has been an honored speaker at over 100 conventions, hospitals, med-spas, and colleges, and she currently serves on several academic advisory boards and is Education Chair for the FSMTA.

Explore manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) therapy, an evidence-based strategy that is effective therapeutic tool for over 40 medical conditions. From auto-immune conditions to edema management to pre- and post-op surgery recovery, MLD has become a trusted therapeutic technique for rehab professionals. In this interactive, hands-on seminar, you’ll learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of lymphedema and pain and explore MLD treatment plans, including assessment, MLD techniques, compression, home exercise programs, and patient education. Helping our patients safely reach their destination is the number one goal of any therapist and this course focuses on 3 keys to do just that. Join Lisa DiFalco, a certified lymphedema therapist (CLT-LANA) whose background is in massage and occupational therapy, as she reveals the latest research and demonstrates the effective techniques she has implemented for the past 20 years.
