Norton School of Lymphatic TherapyReviews of nortonschool.com

Intense course but they were thorough and made sure you knew the information correctly.

Be prepared for this course - do all the online studying, then do some extra studying, before you get to the in-class portion. Be healthy and rested and expect to work harder than you can imagine because there is just so much to learn. The teachers are excellent.

Initially it was overwhelming in terms of the volume and coplexity of the information but by the end everything became integrated and made sense. Although, I think a two week course would have been less stressful.

When I first registered for this class I couldn't imagine why it needed to be 10 days long! But I soon found out there was more to Lymphedema than I thought. By the 3rd or 4th day I had already learned so much I didn't think I could fit anymore information in my brain but the teachers and assistants made the class fun and exciting so that it didn't seem like you were learning anything new just reviewing what you had already learned in the first several days. The first part was all didactic and the second part was mostly hands on labs. After we finished day 4, the rest of the 6 days just flew by and by that time it was test time. The teachers do a very great job of helping you prep for the written and practical tests. They really made you feel like they wanted you to pass and not fail. So I tried even harder just to show them how great of teachers they all were. I would recommend this course over and over again to anyone interested in Lymphedema. Yes the course is 10 days long but by the end of it, it didn't seem like it was long at all.

I was so glad I enrolled with Norton School. When I received the home bundle, I was a little overwhelmed. But one the onsite course began, the professors did a great job easing us in into the lymphedema specialization. We had plenty of time to practice and the Instructor made sure every student was given sufficient time and attention to clear doubts and improve their techniques. I would recommend Norton school to anyone who is looking for high standards of education, skilled instructors and great learning environment.

I walked into the course not knowing how they were going to fill the time. Walking out, I felt like it was just enough. John Beckwith, my instructor, facilitated great discussion, exuded passion for the subject, and gave constructive feedback. Definitely be prepared to work hard, but the Norton School gives you all the tools to succeed in the class and in the clinic.

If you want to be the most educated and well practiced Complete Decongestive Lymphedema therapist in order to provide the best care possible for your patients, this is the school to learn from. You can learn a little about a lot, but here you learn everything you need to know. This course goes in depth on areas barely touched in traditional classrooms. You will learn the lymphatic system, manual lymph drainage techniques, and compression bandaging techniques from highly educated clinicians that have patient experiences to help you answer questions, think critically, evaluate appropriately, and treat properly. I would recommend it to any therapist looking to advance their career into a specialty area of Lymphedema. It is worth the time, money and effort.

I was thrilled with my overall Norton School experience - 9 Intense days full of information, hands on experience and exposure to all the elements of lymphedema treatment. I completed the course as a massage therapist in a class majority of physical therapists and it was AWESOME! I learned so much about their field and how we can work together in treatment of patients in need. I never once felt at a disadvantage due to lack of background or experience with the medical model. That being said, I highly recommend any MT out there to DO your homework - make use of the time before class begins to get a VERY firm grasp of the theoretical knowledge and anatomy .. because that is only the beginning. Every aspect of the Norton School curriculum exceeded my expectations of what a focused educational experience should be. I Loved my teachers -- both experts in the field and damn fine human beings. Looking forward to taking the Head and Neck Advanced Class in the future.
