In this class you will learn how Ortho-Bionomy® can facilitate the natural ability of the lymphatic system to function well. The focus will be on understanding the nature of the lymphatic system and its relationship to the fascia and the fluids. The class will include discussion in the following areas:

• Basic anatomy physiology, and microcirculation of the lymphatic system and training lymph nodes.
• Understanding the role of fluids in our bodies.
• Relationships between the parts; fluids fascia and the lymphatic System.
• Ortho-Bionomy® techniques presented will release structural binding and blocking of the lymphatic system and encourage natural fluid flow. 
• Scar tissue refinement.
• Specific techniques to address Post-Mastectomy Pain Syndrome.

This method will gently reduce general pain, refine post surgical scar tissue, and promote edema reduction. It is also an effective adjunct to Complete Decongestive Physiotherapy in the treatment of primary and secondary lymphedema. Ortho-Bionomy® promotes working with ease and comfort for the client as well as the practitioner
