The Casley-Smith method is one of the four internationally recognized techniques. This engaging course teaches skills and knowledge necessary to safely and effectively treat patients with chronic edema and lymphedema using Complex Lymphatic Therapy (manual lymph drainage (MLD), compression bandaging, skin care, decongestive therapy exercises and self-care management). At the conclusion of the course, you will be certified as a Casley-Smith Lymphedema Therapist (CSCLT) and can immediately start working with patients. This course meets the Lymphology Association of North America (LANA) certification criteria. LANA certification allows the lymphedema patient to identify therapists who have at least 135 hours of training through a qualified school that has honed their lymphedema therapy skills. LANA offers the certified therapist to take a voluntary certification examination that tests the therapist's knowledge of chronic edema and lymphedema management.
