Norton School of Lymphatic Therapy
LYMPHEDEMA BANDAGING
This course has been prepared to guide the lymphedema therapist through the essential steps of multilayered short stretch compression bandaging application. This unique Norton School offering provides trained therapists with the invaluable opportunity to review these essential skills in a comprehensive visual format. The concepts underlying skillful application are extensively enriched by the video and audio instruction experience. They include: tensioning, molding, spacing, graduated layering, precision, positioning, and logical progression. This visual distance learning model provides a superior review as much of the skill set developed for lymphedema bandaging is derived from observation, palpation, and kinesthetic awareness. Each compression bandaging component is approached with a standard layering protocol based upon the performance properties of each material coupled with extensive clinical impression. "Lymphedema Bandaging: Video Practical Instruction" follows the basic principles of compression bandaging yet employs the use of advanced materials such as foam padding. The course serves to reinforce the correct use of such advanced materials while fostering further development of confidence in therapists of all training backgrounds. All techniques are visually demonstrated and explained by Steve Norton, CDT Clinical Instructor, CLT-LANA.
