5.0 out of 5 stars The comprehensive text for the field of Lymphatics~a Must Have!, March 14, 2008

By	Perfect Balance (Norge i mitt hjertet) - See all my reviews

Dr. Chikly is THE Leader in his field and has truly displayed it in this amazing reference work. I have trained many modalities as a Licensed Therapist and his Manual Lymphatic Technique is one of the more astounding ones! I have been fortunate enough to learn them directly from him in Arizona. Bruno is a serious PhD expert, but at the same time one of the kindest, most genuine people ON THE PLANET~ we're talking Ghandi-like. The knowledge of this technique will forever shift your view of the body as well as the real power in gentle, almost touchless, techniques. Dr. Chikly has put his life work into this material and it is second to none on the subject. I really feel the medical community could benefit more from its increased usage, as could the general public for use at home. Anyone can learn from the mountain of information that's packed into this very nice hard covered book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book availablility, April 25, 2008

This is the textbook for the Lymphatic Drainage Therapy program offered through the Upledger Institute. You can purchase it from them for $75 if Amazon is unable to stock it. It is written in medical language and is for the practicing therapist. It can also be a valuable resource for patients, however.
