Post Surgical MLD - 7 CEUs - Live
For a Limited Time when you Enroll in “Relaxation Techniques for Pain Reduction” you will receive 10% OFF “Post Surgical MLD“
Post Surgical MLD
Board Approved – Live 7 CEUs
The body’s natural response after surgery includes an inflammatory response when the fluid nourishes the post operative area with white blood cells to start the healing process. Swelling is a normal result after surgery, and mobilizing excess fluid via the lymphatic system helps to facilitate the healing process. Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is the technique used to jump start the lymphatic system post operatively to remove excess fluid and metabolic waste from the tissues in the body to optimize healing and post-surgical results.
Learn MLD techniques that are often prescribed by plastic surgeons after Brazilian buttock lift, liposuction, tummy tuck, mommy makeover, face lift, and breast augmentations to facilitate healing. Incorporate MLD into treatment plans after elective orthopedic surgeries. Use MLD to help cancer patients recover after lymph node removal. Understand how to best incorporate MLD techniques into your practice as a physical therapist, occupational therapist or massage therapist to best lead your patients and clients on the road to recovery.
- Participant will be able to define manual lymph drainage and indicate methods of use
- Participate will be able to describe important structures and functions of the lymphatic system and demonstrate knowledge of lymphatic drainage pathways
- Participate will be able to demonstrate safe MLD techniques for UE, LE, Abdomen, Face and Neck

Start your Business
Start your business.
Build your next step with the same professionalism you bring to the treatment room. Whether you want to rent a suite, open a private practice, or grow a long-term wellness brand, use this pathway to set up your business correctly in Florida.
Follow the pathway from licensure to launch.
If you want to work for yourself, start small and set it up correctly. Use the steps below to choose your legal setup, protect your practice, create a professional brand, and make it easy for clients to find and book you.
You do not need to do everything at once. Build the essentials first, keep your systems simple, and grow as your client base becomes more consistent.
Useful Preserva links
- Preserva highlights small class sizes and real-world clinical experience.
- The massage program emphasizes advanced therapy techniques and Florida licensure readiness.
- The facial specialist program emphasizes skin analysis, advanced devices, and safe treatment planning.
- Graduates can use employer pathways first, then transition into independent practice when ready.
Eight steps from training to opening day.
Use these categories to set up your business, protect your clients, and create a brand you can grow with confidence.
Incorporate / Trademark / Domain
Start with legal ownership and naming discipline. Before a Preserva graduate prints menus, orders treatment-room signage, or starts posting services, the business name needs to be checked, registered correctly, and tied to a domain that can actually be controlled long term.
- Choose a business structure and confirm the business name is available in Florida.
- Register a fictitious name if the operating name differs from the legal owner or entity.
- Buy the matching domain and a professional email before launching public marketing.
Best starting references
Loans / Financial / Banking
New wellness businesses usually get in trouble by overspending too early. Students who trained in a real clinical environment should launch the same way: lean, documented, and based on cash flow rather than impulse purchases.
- Estimate startup costs before buying equipment, retail inventory, or decor.
- Apply for an EIN and separate business banking from personal finances.
- Know your break-even point before taking on rent, debt, or payroll commitments.
Best starting references
Insurance / Compliance / Client Safety
This category is worth expanding for Preserva. Massage and facial work are hands-on, health-adjacent services. Insurance, scope discipline, sanitation, informed consent, and referral boundaries need to be in place before the first booked client.
- Carry appropriate liability coverage before performing paid services.
- Use intake, contraindication, consent, and aftercare forms that match the actual service menu.
- Keep services inside the graduate's Florida scope and refer out when needed.
Best starting references
Branding / Logo / Service Menu
A wellness brand needs more than a logo. Students need a clear service promise, readable pricing, and consistent wording that matches their actual skills. The goal is to look trustworthy, not overbuilt.
- Create a simple logo, color direction, and reusable brand kit.
- Write a focused menu of services instead of listing everything at once.
- Keep pricing, session length, add-ons, and contraindications clear from day one.
Best starting references
Website / Google Presence / Local SEO
This is not just about having a website. New clients will compare the site, Google Business Profile, photos, reviews, and booking flow before they ever call. The best local SEO here is simple: clear location signals, unique service copy, mobile-friendly pages, and real information people can trust.
- Create a mobile-friendly website with service pages, pricing cues, and contact details.
- Claim and complete the Google Business Profile with the correct category, hours, and photos.
- Use descriptive internal links, original copy, and consistent business name, address, and phone details.
Best starting references
Accept Payments / Scheduling / Policies
A good booking system protects time, cash flow, and client expectations. Students should launch with simple deposits, cancellation language, intake timing, and checkout rules rather than trying to fix operational confusion later.
- Use scheduling software that handles reminders, intake timing, and service duration.
- Decide on deposits, no-show fees, refund rules, and late-arrival policies before launch.
- Make sure payment processing is reliable, transparent, and easy to reconcile.
Best starting references
Phone / Security / Client Privacy
Students need separation between personal life and client communication. They also need basic digital hygiene. A dedicated business phone, strong passwords, payment security, and protected intake records are not extras. They are part of operating safely.
- Use a business phone number and business email, not a personal number for everything.
- Choose a call system that lets you keep one professional number across mobile and desktop.
- Enable multi-factor authentication on email, booking, and payment accounts.
- Do not store client records, before-and-after images, or payment data in unprotected personal apps.
Best starting references
Launch / Reviews / Referrals / Growth
A smart first launch is usually small. Use a limited opening offer, collect early reviews the right way, build referrals from repeat clients, and keep improving the systems that actually create retention.
- Start with a manageable schedule, a clear signature menu, and a review request process.
- Build referral language for satisfied clients, local partners, and employer relationships.
- Review monthly numbers so pricing, rebooking, and retention improve over time.
Best starting references
Questions to answer before you open.
Should I open right away or work for someone first?
Usually the best answer is to start where the learning curve is safest. Many Preserva graduates benefit from working in a spa, clinic, or employer setting first while they refine treatment flow, client retention, and pricing discipline. Then they move into room rental, a suite, or a solo brand with much better systems.
What do I need before I see my first paying client?
At minimum: the correct Florida-facing legal setup, appropriate insurance, a safe and compliant service environment, intake and consent forms, a booking and payment system, and a dedicated client communication channel that is not just a personal phone and social DMs.
Do I need a full website before I start?
Not a large one. But you do need a clean mobile-friendly web presence with services, city or service-area details, booking access, and consistent business information. A complete Google Business Profile plus a simple website usually beats a flashy but unfinished launch.
What should I never copy from another business?
Do not reuse another school's copy, another spa's menu text, someone else's logo, or unlicensed photos pulled from the web. Use your own brand language, your own policies, and only original or properly licensed media. That is better legally, safer ethically, and stronger for long-term SEO.
Train well. Launch responsibly. Build something that lasts.
Take the same discipline you use in training and apply it to your business setup. Build the legal, financial, and client-facing foundations first, then grow with confidence.
