Concise and easy to follow intro

N. Fries, NCTMB

It was an eye opener. Knowledge is very important and we as massage therapist need to gain as much as we can so we can be of real benefit to our clients. If we are not trained in certain techniques for certain populations we need to gain the training or hopefully refer the client to someone that is capable to meet their needs.

Sample Text

"The main organs that contain lymphatic tissue are the red bone marrow, thymus, lymph nodes and spleen. Lymphatic tissue is also present in the mucous membranes that line the digestive, respiratory, urinary and reproductive tracts of the body. Mucous membranes are the thin, fragile tissues that line most of the body's openings and passages. They protect the body by secreting mucus, which keeps the tissues moist and elastic, and contains antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal chemicals." (Helping Clients Who Have Edema by Sharon Burch, MSN, RN, NCTMB and Bethany C. Searcey, NCTMB, (2002), pp. 36-37)
