Negative Pressure And Vibration Therapy with Lymphatic Therapies

The use of negative Pressure and/or vibration are common components used in physical rehabilitation to achieve positive clinical outcomes. Many of us healthcare professionals have limited awareness about how these can be applied to the lymphatic impaired population. Objectifying manual pressures is also a concept with a growing discussion in the ability to provide accurate documentation and translation of treatments. This webinar seeks to create an understanding of negative pressure, vibration, and its applications in the lymphatic population.

Objectives:
– Negative Pressure vs. Positive Pressure
– Vibration: Hyperalgesic or Hypoalgesic Effects and the Physiological effects on the lymphatics
– Techniques for Therapy and Clinical Applications on Lymphatic Patients
