Complete CLT (Certified Lymphedema Therapist) Training

Complete MLD/CDP Training as a lymphedema therapist is recommended for anyone who wants to treat more complex medical patients such as oncology patients, patients who have had lymph nodes removed or radiated, or those with extensive vascular edema with skin deterioration/ulceration. This is really key to seeing big reductions in patients with visible swelling disorders.

The certification class includes all workbooks, hardback text, upper extremity and lower extremity bandaging kits, lab fees, certification exam and 135 CEUs. Cost for full MLD/CDP certification is $3,195 for all 3 parts. Cost of MLD only certification is $2,195. Feasible payment plans are available. You do get a time/monetary credit if you have attended the introductory course that I have taught.

Basic MLD Certification

Available with Parts 1-2.  Part 1 is the home study. This will qualify practitioners to work extensively with conditions of the lymphatic system, excluding disorders where there is a direct lymphatic pathology, i.e. cancer treatment of the lymph nodes, lymph node removal, and types of edemas that require bandaging. This is ideal for those who work outside of a direct medical setting, i.e. massage therapists that are more interested in the holistic, orthopedic, auto-immune disease benefits and aestheticians. These are only loose guidelines, there are plenty of massage therapists that have built very lucrative practices with full CLT certification. Please call me to discuss your specific practice goals. The cost is $2,195.

With this certification, you would be able to safely treat:  whole-body tissue detoxification, symptoms of lupus, arthritis, RA, osteoarthritis, Lyme disease, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, aesthetics, cellulite, lymphatic facial detoxification, wrinkles, scarring, and swelling due to surgical procedures and trauma and much more.

We will be teaching the full MLD/CDP 135-hour certification program in two or three parts, depending on your locality.   Please download the full course document for full details.

Lipedema: From Early Identification to Treatment

In this course, participants will gain a clear understanding of lipedema as a specific and individualized condition that is highly treatable by a skilled therapist. The processes of identification and evaluation, differential diagnosis, type and stage assessment, specialized testing, and surgical and nonsurgical interventions are explored. Therapists trained in compression bandaging techniques and compression garment fitting will learn and practice various techniques and considerations while treating the lipedema limb. We will explore why traditional interventions have failed for the treatment of lipedema, and how those failed treatments contribute to the progression of this condition. The impact of this connective tissue disorder on an individual’s psychosocial well-being is explored, as well as supporting community resources to address these concerns. By the end of this course, students will be able to identify and determine/ administer appropriate treatment to the client with lipedema.

• By the end of the course, the attendee will be able to relate the basic anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system to that of a patient in a debilitated state due to the CNS restrictions.

• By the end of the course, the attendee will understand how lymphatic congestion may impact cognition and lead to CNS pathologies

• By the end of the course, the attendee will be able to explain the gold standards in lymphatic care in a patient that has had lymph node removal or impairment.

• By the end of the course, the attendee will be able to review and gain familiarity with current (last five years) CNS research, the lymphatics of the CNS, and its interrelation with cumulative, degenerative conditions in the body.
