5 principles of lymphatic diagnosis
- Indications and risk-to-benefit ratio
- Central myofascial pathways
- Fluid pumps
- Spinal involvement
- Peripheral/regional pathways
Which lymphatic duct drains the majority of the body
Thoracic duct
What does the right lymphatic duct drain
Right side of the head, neck, and thorax
Right upper limb
Transition zones of the spine and transverse restrictors
OA, C1, C2 (tentorium cerebelli)
C7, T1 (thoracic inlet)
T12, L1 (thoracolumbar diaphragm)
L5, Sacrum (pelvic diaphragm)
Principles of lymphatic treatment (4)
- Open pathways to remove restriction to flow (transverse myofascial restrictors, regional lymphatic drainage)
- Maximize diaphragmatic functions (abdominal and pelvic diaphragms)
- Increase pressure differentials or transmit motion (fluid pumps)
- Mobilize targeted tissue fluids (localized to specific SDs)
The thoracic inlet is always opened first. What would your next treatment area be for an HEENT problem?
Suboccipitals
The thoracic inlet is always opened first. What would your next treatment area be for a problem below the diaphragm?
Abdominal diaphragm
