Informationen zum Autor Professor Foldi is a worldwide renowned expert on lymphology - his outstanding work and publications have made him a founder and pioneer in lymphology. He has received numerous awards and honorary memberships from various international lymphology associations which underline the high regard in which he is held in the field of lymphology. Prof. Foldi has founded a clinic at Hinterzarten/Black Forest which specializes in lymphology! today he still works there as an advisor Klappentext The anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the lymphatic system are covered, including key background information necessary for effective treatment. Photographs illustrate the lymphatic knots and lymphatic courses, which are drawn on the human body, and provide a clear picture of the structures to be treated. Zusammenfassung Covering the anatomy! physiology! and pathophysiology of the lymphatic system! this guide provides the information necessary for effective treatment. Chapters are structured according to anatomic regions! focusing on the lymphatic knots and their tributary regions. It also contains photographs to illustrate the lymphatic knots and their courses.

Report

"This book aims to describe the scientific principles that underline manual lymph drainage.""Treatment strokes and stroke sequences are then described for specific body areas, as well as hand placement, pressure and movement. These chapters, indeed the whole book, are extensively illustrated with photos and/or illustrations on nearly every page."Matthew Boylan. Journal of the Australian Traditional-Medicine Society, June 2006
