Introduction
Programme Outline
In the early part of the 20th century, the importance of
the lymphatic system was little known or researched.
Yet working in the south of France, with chronic
respiratory conditions, Dr Emil and Estrid Vodder
developed a system of manual drainage techniques,
which significantly improve the activity of the lymphatic
vessels.
