Lymphoedema Rehabilitation Programme (Part 2- FG-MLD)

Please join us to find out more about how the break through of live lymph mapping by Jane Wigg and Professor Belgrado has changed the way we treat our patients. Though the use of Near Infrared imaging, the superficial lymphatics can be visualised in real time. This allows observing for the mapping of functional lymphatic collectors, the observation of dermal rerouting areas, dermal backflow areas and functional substitution pathways. This allows for the mapping and the identification of the lymphatic system and ensures that the therapist knows the best drainage pathways to be used for the patient. Never before have we been able to identify functional lymphatic’s in real time. This development means that the therapist can ensure that they carry out an MLD technique to which they know the lymphatics are responsive.

LTA:Africa is the only certification that has the camera in training and allows you to see and work with the technology first hand.
