Stationary circles: contact and directionPump strokes: amplitude and recoilCoils and scoops for curved regionsRhythmic sliding along lymph pathwaysMatching stroke choice to tissue needsLesson 3Use a positionin an gravity: supine, semi-Fowler, side-lyin an prone positionin fi facilitate directional flowDis section explains how fi use positionin an gravity fi facilitate lymph flow, comparin supine, semi-Fowler, side-lyin, an prone positions, an detailin supports, angles, an transitions dat enhance comfort an drainage.
Supine positioning and leg elevationSemi-Fowler for abdominal comfortSide-lying for flanks and lateral thighProne work with airway and breast careSafe transitions between positionsLesson 4Pressure, rhythm, an timin parameters: quantitative guidance pon force (very light to light), stroke duration, strokes per area, an treatment pacinDis section provides quantitative guidance pon pressure, rhythm, an timin, includin force ranges, stroke duration, strokes per area, an pacin, helpin yuh standardize sessions while adaptin to individual client needs.
Defining very light and light pressureRecommended stroke counts per regionOptimal stroke duration and cadenceSession pacing and regional time splitsMonitoring fatigue in hands and clientLesson 5Adaptin techniques fi sensitive, swollen, or fibrotic tissue: reduced pressure, increased frequency, an slower rhythmsDis section teaches how fi adapt techniques fi sensitive, swollen, or fibrotic tissue, usin reduced pressure, increased frequency, slower rhythms, an careful monitorin fi avoid pain, flare-ups, or additional lymphatic congestion.
Identifying sensitivity and edema patternsPressure scales for fragile tissuesSlower rhythms and shorter sequencesStrategies for fibrotic or adherent areasWhen to stop and refer to a physicianLesson 6Combinin drainage wid contourin: sequencin fi prioritize lymph clearance before shapin, safe transition strokesDis section details how fi integrate shapin maneuvers wid drainage, prioritizin lymph clearance before contourin, definin safe transition strokes, an avoidin overload or stagnation while maintainin aesthetic focus an client safety.
Order of drainage versus shaping strokesRules for safe transition strokesLinking regional sequences into a flowAvoiding lymphatic overload during shapingAdapting plans to client aesthetic goalsLesson 7Specific maneuvers fi abdominal drainage: diaphragmatic facilitation, centripetal scoops, para-umbilical sweepin toward inguinal nodesDis section focuses pon abdominal drainage maneuvers, includin diaphragmatic facilitation, centripetal scoops, an para-umbilical sweepin toward inguinal nodes, wid attention to depth, rhythm, an organ safety fi effective decongestion.
