2022 ABMP CE Summit: Lymph | Online Conference

ABMP CE Summit Logo

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AT THE ABMP CE SUMMIT!

This online conference focused on lymph and included an in-depth look at the anatomy, function, and pathologies of the lymphatic system as well as an introduction to the manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) modality and MLD techniques for the neck and face.

Learners enjoyed this rare opportunity to interact with course instructors and connect with their massage and bodywork community as they learned about lymph!

This event—including 3 hours of CE—was free for everyone in the profession.
