This is a comprehensive, post-graduate level course for qualified therapists who want to develop a true understanding of manual lymphatic drainage—not just learn a protocol.

​

The training combines in-depth online theory with a practical, hands-on training day, allowing you to build both knowledge and confidence before working with clients.

​

You will learn how to:

• Understand the lymphatic system and its role in the body

• Apply effective, purposeful manual lymphatic drainage techniques

• Adapt treatments for different client presentations

• Work safely and professionally within your scope of practice

• Move beyond routine-based treatments​

​

This course is suitable for therapists who are new to lymphatic drainage, as well as those who have previously trained but still feel unsure in practice.

​

How the Course Works

​

Online Theory

You will begin with a comprehensive online training module, designed to give you a clear and structured understanding of the lymphatic system and how manual lymphatic drainage works.

This allows you to learn at your own pace and arrive at the practical training with a solid foundation.

​

Practical Training Day
A hands-on, in-person training day focused on technique, application, and building confidence.

This is where theory becomes practice—refining your skills and understanding how to adapt your approach for real clients.

​

Case Study Submission
Following your practical training, you will complete a case study to support your learning and help bridge the gap between training and real-world application.

​

Who This Course Is For

​

This training is designed for qualified, post-graduate therapists who:

• Want to expand into lymphatic drainage

• Feel unsure applying lymphatic techniques in practice

• Want to understand the why, not just the how

• Are ready to work with more complex or specialist clients

• Value a thoughtful, informed approach to treatment

​

Who This Course May Not Be For

​

This course may not be the right fit if you are looking for:

• A quick add-on treatment to learn in a day

• A routine to memorise without deeper understanding

• Entry-level training without prior qualification

• ​

This training is designed for therapists who want to build confidence, knowledge, and long-term skill.

​

Your Learning Experience

​

This course is built from over 20 years of industry experience, including international training and hands-on clinical work within a specialist practice.

At The Secret Garden Rooms, we work daily with clients requiring a more considered, informed approach—including post-operative care, lymphatic conditions and oncology support.

That experience shapes the way this training is delivered.

​

You will not only learn techniques—you will learn how to think, assess and adapt your treatments with confidence.

​

A Final Note

​

Manual lymphatic drainage is a subtle but powerful treatment.

When it is understood properly, it becomes more than a technique—it becomes a way of working that supports the body with care, precision and intention.

If you’re ready to move beyond routine and build true confidence in your practice, this training will support you in doing that.
