Lymphatic Visceral Manual Therapy for Musculoskeletal Pain

The Lymphatic & Visceral Manual Therapy (LVMT) Course by Prepare to Perform focuses on a commonly overlooked but highly impactful area of rehabilitation: the role of lymphatic and visceral dysfunctions in musculoskeletal pain and movement restrictions. Research suggests that a large percentage of patients presenting with musculoskeletal issues also display impairments in their lymphatic or visceral systems. This course is designed to help practitioners identify and address these dysfunctions with clarity and clinical precision.

Key Benefits

  • Gain a deeper understanding of how internal systems affect movement, posture, and recovery

  • Improve clinical outcomes by identifying and treating dysfunctions often missed in traditional assessments

  • Enhance palpation skills to detect subtle changes in tissue and fluid dynamics

  • Integrate a practical system that complements SFMA, rehabilitation, and performance therapy approaches

  • Expand your clinical toolbox with techniques that support systemic healing, not just local symptom relief

FAQ

Delivered through a self-paced, two-part video presentation (just over an hour in total), this section reviews key anatomical and functional concepts related to the lymphatic and visceral systems. Whether you're new to this material or need a refresher, it lays the groundwork for understanding how these systems influence healing, movement, and chronic pain. The module concludes with a short assessment (multiple choice, true/false, and short answers).

The in-person training builds on the theory by focusing on application. You will learn to:

  • Conduct movement-based assessments to establish a functional diagnosis

  • Perform basic lymphatic and visceral evaluations

  • Apply hands-on techniques for the lymphatic system and abdominal viscera

  • Observe and feel for changes in tissue tone and fluid flow

  • Reassess movement quality following interventions

  • Introduce effective reinforcement strategies to maintain gains

There are no strict prerequisites, but having a basic understanding of human anatomy, biomechanics, and clinical assessment will be beneficial. Being a licensed healthcare professional or in a similar field is recommended.
Yes, upon Yes, you can begin applying the techniques from the LVMT course right away. The course is designed to be highly practical, equipping you with assessment skills and hands-on methods that integrate seamlessly into your existing practice. Many participants find they can confidently start using what they've learned as soon as they return to their clients/patients.
LVMT helps treat pain by addressing underlying dysfunctions in the lymphatic and visceral systems that often go unnoticed in traditional assessments. Restrictions in these systems can affect circulation, nerve signalling, and tissue mobility—contributing to chronic pain and limited movement. By improving fluid flow, reducing inflammation, and restoring tissue glide, LVMT supports the body’s natural healing processes and enhances the effectiveness of musculoskeletal treatments.
