SUMMARY:Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT1) - Inner Fluid Dynamics\, Chikly Health Institute
DESCRIPTION:WHEN: August 20-23\, 2026 from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm at Westerner Park\, 4847A 19 St\, Red Deer\, AB.  \nPrice does not include hotels or meals. See below for payment plans options.  \nThis course is In Person. CMMOTA Members will earn 24 CEC’s for this course. \nCOURSE OPTION: \nLymph Drainage Therapy is a cutting edge hands-on method of lymphatic drainage developed by Bruno Chikly\, MD\, DO\, LMT. \nIt was created out of his award-winning research on the lymphatic system consistent with recent scientific discoveries. \nLDT1 takes traditional lymph drainage techniques and adds a level of precision. LDT is the first technique that enables practitioners to detect and palpate the specific rhythm\, direction\, depth\, and quality of the lymph flow anywhere in the body. Skilled practitioners with developed listening skills can practice Manual Lymphatic Mapping (MLM) of the lymphatic vessels. \nLDT practitioners use their hands to assess and enhance overall circulation as well as determine the best alternate pathways for draining stagnant body fluid (lymph\, interstitial\, synovial fluid\, etc…). Therapists work with flat hands\, using all the fingers to simulate gentle\, specific wave-like movements. \nThese subtle manual maneuvers activate lymph and interstitial fluid circulation as well as stimulate the functioning of the immune and parasympathetic nervous systems. \nInstructor Bio \nRobin Devine\, RMT\, CLT\, LDT\, is a 2200 hour Massage Therapist who specializes in Lymphatic Drainage\, Lymphedema Therapy\, Relaxation & Therapeutic Massage\, Brain Therapy\, Brain Reflex Therapy\, and Craniosacral Therapy. \nRobin traveled to Thailand in 2005 and trained in Thai Massage techniques. While there\, she developed an intense desire to explore non-traditional forms of Massage Therapy\, and the vital importance of overall body wellness. Thanks to this insight\, Robin has built on her foundational training\, and has expanded her therapeutic tools to include Lymphatic Drainage Therapy\, Brain Therapy and Brain Reflex Therapy with the Chikly Health Institute\, as well as Craniosacral Therapy through the Upledger institute. She is currently only 1 of 10 therapists in the City of Calgary who have trained to the advanced level of Lymphatic Drainage as well as a Certified Lymphedema Therapist\, enjoying working with more complex cases of lymphatic instability.  She is a fully certified Complex Decongestive Therapist and Certified Lymphedema Therapy. \nThroughout her career\, she has worked in a massage therapy clinic\, chiropractic clinic\, as a mobile therapist in Calgary\, as well as working from home for many years. She has also been an assistant instructor for the Upledger Institute/Chikly Institute for the Lymphatic Drainage Therapy courses since 2008\, traveling all over North America and\, recently\, to Australia\, Singapore and Malaysia. She has taught with MH Vicars School of Massage Therapy in Calgary for 3 years for both their full  first and second year curriculums\, as well as with Mount Royal University teaching in their 2200 hour diploma program both in their classrooms and in their practicum clinic.
