Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Course Cost: £260 Duration: 1 Day Course Time: 9:30am – 4:00pm Location: Cedars Training Academy (both academies) Pre-requisite: Swedish Body Massage (Level 3) or Level 3 Sports Massage Course Overview The Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) One Day Short Course at Cedars Training Academy is a professional training programme designed for qualified therapists looking to develop confidence and competence in this highly specialised treatment. Manual lymphatic drainage techniques support the removal of excess fluid, toxins, and waste from the body’s tissues. MLD is widely recognised as an effective treatment for individuals living with the debilitating effects of lymphoedema and is also beneficial pre- and post-surgery to help minimise oedema and support recovery. Early intervention is key in lymphoedema management, and this course equips therapists with the skills to apply safe, effective drainage techniques while providing clients with guidance on lifestyle support and self-lymphatic drainage (SLD) between treatments. Who This Course Is For This course is suitable for therapists undertaking continuous professional development (CPD) who wish to expand their treatment offerings.

On Screen at Calke Abbey

Calke Abbey has taken its place on the big screen in 'Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man' – and now you can discover how it happened. Explore the spaces used in the production – from Tommy Shelby’s dramatic walk through the Stableyards to the atmospheric rooms inside the House transformed for the screen. Discover how outdoor spaces and historic interiors were dressed to create mood and meaning, how the cast and crew worked within this fragile setting, and how the production team worked carefully with the team at Calke to protect its historic fabrics and collections while bringing scenes to life. You can also follow our downloadable walking trail across the estate to see these locations for yourself. It highlights key places where filming took place and offers behind-the-scenes insights for fans of the series and anyone curious about filming in heritage places. Whether you watched the film or are intrigued by how historic houses become film sets, this is your chance to see Calke through a different lens. Don't forget to check back in October for details of a brand new, behind-the-scenes tour of the House, exploring some of the rooms and spaces used for filming.
