Photographs help to illustrate the lymphatic nodes and pathways, which are drawn on the human body to provide a clear picture of the structures to be treated. Designated points are numbered to help illustrate the progression of treatment in each region. Foundations of Manual Lymph Drainage also includes coverage of complete decongestive therapy (CDT).
