6 Hours – Participants will learn the phases and components of Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT). The four components of CDT are Manual Lymph Drainage, Compression, Skin Care and Exercise. Included in this course are video sequences demonstrating various manual modalities, to include Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) techniques and the application of basic padded short-stretch bandaging techniques for the upper and lower extremities. These videos are not intended to fully train participants in techniques known as Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT), or to treat patients, but only serve as an information and introduction to techniques used in the treatment and management of lymphedema. To perform MLD and bandaging techniques on individuals and patients additional information, such as contraindications, treatment sequences, etc., which is provided in certification courses and seminars, is required.
