Norton School of Lymphatic TherapyReviews of nortonschool.com

You will leave this course with an incredible understanding of not only lymphedema but all types of edema and how to manage them. The instructors are experts and excellent teachers. The downfalls of the course come with outdated study materials, lack of clear syllabus and testing expectations, mediocre supplies/class location, and distracting class population. Our class was a mix of OTs, PTs, and massage therapists. While lymphedema management is pertinent to massage therapists, this course requires a thorough understanding of anatomy, physiology, and pathology making this course very difficult for many of the massage therapists in my class. This frequently held up our class and limited the complexity of cases we were able to discuss. It would be more appropriate to have a separate course for massage therapists. All said, for the cost of the course, the materials and location should be of the best quality but I am happy with the information and skills I learned.

Excellent course to take - so thorough, with a support system not only during the course, but afterwards with classmates - and the instructors encourage us to reach out to them with questions. Highly recommend!

The certification program is intense, however, very rewarding. The instructors are very knowledgeable and I was able to see immediate results when I returned to work. I would highly recommend Norton School for your certification.

Excellent instructors. Plenty of supplies to practice with. You will fill confident in your technique when you leave. It would be helpful to have a live patient for demo.

Felt prepared to evaluate and treat patients right after this course!

Thank you to Julia, instructor in Urbana, Ill. Thoughtful explanations, examples and shared treatment ideas. I appreciated her style of instruction as well as her expertise. Thank you Julia for bring actual patients (lymphedema) for the class to observe and touch and learn.

Loved the teachers, they were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Course content was very thorough introduction to physiology lymphatics, disease and differential diagnosis, manual lymph drainage and compression treatment and even case studies with a real patient. It was a hard course to cover in the time allotted. Personal preference would have been to spread it over 2 weeks rather than 10 days. But very glad to have taken the course. I think this should be offered in all the PT programs as it is very useful. Currently Germany educates all their PT in CLT.

GREAT INSTRUCTORS AND HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TECHNIGUES.
