Norton School of Lymphatic TherapyReviews of nortonschool.com

One of the most intense courses I've attended. It improves ones understanding greatly.

I felt like I was prepared to treat lymphedema patients immediately following training. I walked away with the conviction I needed to explain my recommendations to my patients and answer to their hesitations. The format for the course was tiring but effective. I felt like I emerged into a new vocabulary but gained confidence with the content each day as the week progressed.

I loved the way the course was laid out each day. A fairly exact amount of time was spent on a topic before a rest break or moving on, which really helped with not being too overloaded with new information at any one time. even down to what time of day the MLD was performed so we wouldnt be too tired after for the next topic. The instructors (Susan and Dawn) were very professional, knowledgable, and encouraging; which also helps to absorb as much information as possible in a short time. Overall, I was thoroughly pleased with my experience and will certainly continue to speak highly of the course and recommend when the opportunities present themselves. I also had the opportunity to assist in instructing a course for a few days also really enjoyed that as well and would love to be able to do that again.

I recommend this traing to every therapist that works with oncology patients!

Very thorough and practical approach for MLD and wrapping, with repetition that makes the learning "stick". I recommend the courses very highly.

Where some things frustrating overall I found it to be a great experience. I learned a lot about myself and got to learn new ways of helping others. I met a lot of people that were good at what they do and enjoyed learning from them the different techniques that I could bring back to my patients

I enjoyed the course and learned a great deal. The instructors were good teachers! I was dissappointed that we did not do more with case studies as a group ( we were tested individually yet I would have loved to hear discussion about all the different cases. I felt that i had basic skills for "the ideal " lymhedema patient yet did not have good expertise with managing the complicated patient and knowing alternatives. I was expecting to have real patients to practice wrapping and to see a variety of shapes/ variations of limbs. I appreciated the lab time to truly develop our MLD skills. More case studies would helpfull to learn and apply knowledge w guidance of experienced teachers. Thank you.

Very thorough education; many resources provided. Excellent preparation for treating patients. Good exposure to products as well as skills.
