Assisted Lymphatic Therapy

What is Assisted Lymphatic Therapy (ALT)?

Assisted Lymphatic Therapy is a gentle, light touch non-invasive technique to stimulate the proper flow and drainage of the lymphatic system. A combination of vibrational, light, and electical waves help to stimulate the flow by causing the dissociation of proteins that have become trapped in the interstitium. When trapped proteins (not to be confused with nutrient proteins) release their bond, the stagnate lymph is liberated and will flow out into its normal filtration and reabsorption channels. This technique offers qualified therapists a natural complement to their existing healthcare protocols.

What is the difference between MLD and ALT?
Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is a technique which uses pressure and motion applied with the hands to help stimulate proper lymphatic fluid flow and drainage. The primary purpose for MLD therapy is to treat lymphedema patients. The therapy is practiced in clinics and hospitals all over the world by certified therapists.

Although MLD has its place, ALT can stimulate the lymph at a greater depth and will enhance lymph flow with far less therapy time. The enhanced stimulation of ALT has provided benefits to many of our clients who experienced limited response from MLD.

How do I order an ALT Device?
Please call our office at (404) 474-2100 and we will match you with a distributor who can help you with the purchase along with any required training you may need.
Do I need Training?
Absolutely! We do not sell systems to those who will not receive the proper training. Although using the machine is not difficult, actually performing the therapy for the greatest client benefit takes instruction and hands on practice. We provide both classroom and clinincal training as part of the learning process along with follow up support and Q and A as you begin to provide ALT to your client base.
