Decongestive Lymphatic Therapy Practitioner Course
Why I Created This Course
I created this course because I saw a need for practical, comprehensive lymphatic education that prepares practitioners for real-world clinical practice.
My goal is not simply to teach techniques. It is to help practitioners develop the confidence, clinical reasoning and practical skills required to assess and manage people living with lymphoedema, lipoedema and complex oedema presentations.
I deliberately include additional topics such as compression therapy, garment fitting, ABPI, adjunctive therapies and long-term patient management so students leave feeling prepared, supported and ready to apply their learning in practice.
Is This Course Right For You?
This course is ALA accredited and open to eligible health professionals only.
Before enrolling, please confirm you meet the entry requirements. It takes less than 2 minutes. No payment required.

What You Will Learn
Decongestive Lymphatic Therapy is a hands-on clinical skill that cannot be learned through videos alone.
While the theory component provides the knowledge foundation, the practical workshop allows students to develop confidence in Manual Lymphatic Drainage, compression therapy, garment fitting, assessment skills and clinical reasoning under the guidance of an experienced trainer.
