Lymph Drainage Therapy 2 (LDT 2)

In-depth advanced study of anatomy is a pre-requisite for this class. Please read in Dr. Chikly’s book, Silent Waves: Part 1 Chapter 10, Part 4 Chapter 1,2,and 5, and all of Part 5.

Also, please review the list of words and see where your stand with your knowledge. It is of utmost importance that you prepare for this class in advance – even if you don’t plan to attend the class for a year or so, it is not too early to begin your study of anatomy structures.
