Jumozy Presents New Online Lymphatic Massage Continuing Education Course (9.5 Hours of Approved Massage CE Training)

Jumozy has announced the release of a new comprehensive online course Lymphatic Massage for the Body (9.5 CE Hrs). Expert massage therapist and instructor, Meade Steadman, demonstrates step by step how to provide lymphatic drainage massage therapy. In step-by-step video demonstrations, Steadman shows the strokes used in lymphatic massage and demonstrates a routine for providing manual lymphatic drainage to promote lymphatic flow. This approved continuing education course also includes benefits and contraindications, an overview of the lymphatic system, getting started, lymphedema, post-treatment recommendations, and how to incorporate lymphatic massage in other modalities.

The course is broken down into small, manageable units, with quizzes to test and reinforce knowledge. At the end of the course, upon satisfactory assessment scores (75% or better), students can immediately download and print a certificate of achievement and attach it to their resume.

Customer Reviews:

 “I found the course to be very well presented.  I actually enjoyed the entire course, found it easy to navigate, found the instructor to be personable, engaging and knowledgeable and found the course, as a whole, to be informative.  I thought the video presentations were very well done and the filming of the instructor as he presented the demonstrations to be non-invasive.  I was able to see each maneuver and stroke he performed.  I look forward to putting in practice what I have learned.” John B.

“I liked the holistic focus of the course.  I appreciated being able to read about and then see instruction on rhythm, flow, direction.  This reinforced the learning’s.  I also liked that both sides were demonstrated on the body for additional viewings of the techniques.” Kandace H.

“I really enjoyed the course.  I would want to practice a bit more but I feel comfortable performing Lymphatic Massage based on the information provided. It was thorough and articulate and the quizzes were specific enough that you really need to take good notes to score well.  I think it is the perfect level for someone like me; a licensed massage therapist that already has foundational knowledge, practices, and terminology.  This simply builds up that base.”  Olivia H.

"As a bodywork therapist I found this course enhanced my knowledge of the lymphatic system and it seemed pretty thorough." Rekha B.
