INSTRUCTOR: Dawn Lewis

In this 3-day, 24 CE class, Dawn Lewis will be teaching you about the lymphatic system, including lymphatic drainage techniques, and how to use SMRT to decrease fluid from inflammation or fluid built up in interstitial tissue.  On the final day, we will use SMRT positioning to work with scar tissue.

The class will begin with instruction in the physiology of the lymphatic system and transition into lymphatic drainage massage techniques coupled with SMRT positions designed to stimulate lymphatic flow.  Instruction will include how to use SMRT positioning around metal plates and screws to increase skin glide and enhance lymphatic flow.

On the final day of class, we will explore how SMRT positioning effects scar tissue.  After a brief discussion of what scar tissue is, we will be working with scars in numerous areas of the body to increase tissue mobility, which will also increase joint ROM, and decrease pain caused by adhesive scar tissue.

PLEASE READ BEFORE REGISTERING: Full Circle’s event plugin has a glitch. After you register, you should receive an email saying you have registered. You may then receive a second email telling you either that you have been waitlisted or your registration was cancelled. This is the glitch. If a class has a waitlist, it will be listed as a ticket, you will not be automatically waitlisted. So, you have not been waitlisted nor has your registration been canceled. We apologize for any confusion this may cause and are actively working to fix the issue.
