5. Aqua lymphatic therapy for therapists
Interactive, in pool
Presented by: Marie-Ève Letellier
Finding solutions to help our clients with managing their lymphedema is the goal of most therapists. Emphasis if often made on the use of compression and exercise. What about exercising in the water; using the natural compression provided by the water and movement to get the most for the lymphatic system!
This workshop is an introduction for lymphedema trained therapists to Aqua Lymphatic Therapy (ALT), which is a safe method for treating mild to moderate lymphedema in the maintenance phase of therapy. It is a good supplement to land-based treatments.
A brief introduction to water exercises will be given followed by a practical session into the pool, providing examples for both upper and lower limb lymphedema. Kindly note that no exercise sheets will be provided and that photography/filming is not allowed. Please bring your smile, flip flops, bathing suit, goggles and come discover ALT! The workshop spaces are limited and offered on a sign-up basis.
