Educational information 
The course teaches Physiotherapists, OT's, Remedial Massage Therapists, Nurses, Naturopaths or those training for these professions, and on occasions Carers. Pre reading materials at post graduate level are included and supplied as part of the course.

Due to the fact many people of differing education levels and need attend the courses, to ensure real usable information is provided to everyone, we summarise theory at the beginning of the day to ensure physiological actions and theoretical object of treatment for lymphoedema and lipoedema is understood to the required level of need by all participants.

We find most Allied health care professionals, Remedial Massage Therapists, Naturopaths and Natural Therapists already have a good base understanding of the required physiological concepts and are easily able to understand the principles of lymphatic therapy as it is explained.

Once theoretical knowledge is established at the relevant levels of each participant, then practical work is more easily implemented, understood and retained.
