- - - - WHO CREATED THE VODDER TECHNIQUE?
        
        Dr. Emil Vodder
        
        He adapted the work of
        
        Dr. Alexander von Winiwarter
        
        Who at the end of the 19th century successfully treated elephantiastic limbs with eleveation, compression and a special "massage"
        
        Elephantastic is a term used for extensively swollen extremities
        
        Upon his death (1917) his work was forgotten
        
        WHO IS DOCTER EMIL VODDER?
        
        A Danish doctor who, with his wife, successfully treated patients with colds and swollen lymph nodes
        
        In the 1950s they moved to Paris to further develop his therapy and study the lymphatic system
        
        And named his technique "Manual Lymph Drainage Massage"
      - MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE VODDER TECHNIQUE
        
        Vodder introduced his technique to traditional MD's
        
        Referred to lymph as "healing fluid"
        
        Claimed to "cure" hair loss, obesity
        
        Vodder was dismissed as a "quack" by traditional MD's
        
        He trained cosmeticians in Europe in the 1950s
        
        He labeled it the "Universal Therapy"
      - STROKES
        
        FOUR BASIC VODDER STROKES
        
        2. Pump
        
        Scoop
        
        Rotary
        
        1. Stationary circle
        
        Can be used on any body part
        
        COMBINATIONS
        
        Pump-push
        
        Pump with stationary circle stroke
        
        CAN BE STATIONARY OR DYNAMIC
        
        OR in a stationary pattern -keeping hands in one location
        
        Are performed either in a dynamic pattern - moving hands towards a specific location
        
        PERFORMED
        
        With one hand
        
        OR bi-manually (with two hands)
        
        PHASES
        
        Working Phase
        
        stretch stimuli are applied to the subcutaneous tissue
        
        Resulting in the manipulation of anchoring filaments of lymph capillaries and the smooth musculature in the wall of lymph angions

        The light pressure also moves lymph fluid in the right direction
        
        Should last 1 second
        
        And be repeated 5-7 times in the same area
        
        Resting phase
        
        pressure is released during the resting phase
        
        in which skin elasticity moves the therapist's hand back to the starting position
        
        In this pressure free phase
        
        initial lymph vessels
        
        absorb tissue fluid from the interstitial spaces
