New CE Course: Embodied Lymph: A Movement Practice for Lymph Flow

12/10/2022

Embodied Lymph Course.

The new self-care CE course “Embodied Lymph: A Movement Practice for Lymph Flow” is now available in the ABMP Education Center to view and earn 1.5 CE hours.

Join instructor Ann Teachworth for a movement practice that helps you understand lymph dynamics in the body and provides simple ways to support lymph flow using joint motion, muscle action, breathing, and self-massage. The lymphatic system supports immune, metabolic, and circulatory functions, and it depends on body movement to have proper flow. That flow is facilitated by skeletal muscle activity, joint motion, gravity, breathing, and other body movement. Follow along with the presenter to learn how to support healthy lymph flow through movement and touch and put these powerful tools into practice for yourself and your clients. 

After completing this online course, practitioners will be able to:

  • Describe the pathway of lymph movement through the body.
  • Describe the mechanisms by which lymph moves in the body.
  • Identify movements that support lymph movement.
  • List the steps in a series of breathwork techniques to support lymph movement.
  • List the self-massage practices that support lymph movement.
