Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle technique that focuses on supporting the lymphatic system and improving the movement of lymph throughout the body. A healthy lymphatic system plays an important role in muscular health, recovery and immune function.

Horses with reduced lymphatic movement or congestion may show signs such as:

• Swelling

• Lethargy

• General discomfort

• Stiffness

• Poor recovery after training

This workshop is suitable for horse owners and equine therapists who want to better understand the equine lymphatic system and learn practical manual lymphatic drainage techniques.

Over two days, you'll learn:

• How the equine lymphatic system functions

• The structures that make up the lymphatic system

• How to confidently apply manual equine lymphatic drainage

• When lymphatic drainage may be beneficial

• Practical, hands-on techniques you can apply with confidence

Horses that may benefit from lymphatic drainage include those on box rest, travelling regularly, recovering from injury or surgery, managing lymphoedema, older horses, and sensitive horses.
