women's health: pelvic, abdominal & visceral MLD
Specialized Training in Safe, Effective lymphatic & soft tissue care

Women commonly experience pelvic and abdominal tension, fluid congestion, digestive sluggishness, surgical scarring, menstrual discomfort, and postnatal changes that can benefit from gentle, precise manual therapy. This hybrid program teaches you how to work safely and effectively with the deep lymphatics, visceral fascia, and soft tissues of the abdomen and pelvis - within the massage therapy scope of practice.

You’ll learn how abdominal MLD, fascial mobilization, gentle visceral release, cupping, and breath mechanics all work together to improve pelvic circulation, support digestive function, reduce congestion, and restore ease of movement through the core.

​This course blends online learning, hands-on in-person training, and guided partner practice, giving you both the knowledge and the confidence to integrate these specialized techniques immediately into your clinical work.

who this course is for

​This course is ideal for:
  • Therapists seeking to safely support pelvic, abdominal, and core recovery
  • RMTs working with clients experiencing pelvic tension, abdominal congestion, digestive sluggishness, or postnatal changes
  • Therapists wanting evidence-informed techniques to support clients managing menstrual discomfort, pelvic adhesions, or abdominal scar tissue
  • RMTs looking to expand their practice into abdominal and pelvic-focused manual therapy
  • Therapists wanting practical tools for swelling, discomfort, fluid congestion, and gentle scar-related care in the core region​
​Prerequisites:
  • Certification in EluVett Method Foundations course (or equivalent of Vodder II)
  • Basic understanding of anatomy (muscle and systems) and physiology
  • Comfort with hands-on learning and reciprocal practice

why this training matters

Pelvic, abdominal, and core changes can create significant shifts in the tissues. Many women experience swelling, fluid congestion, restricted mobility, digestive sluggishness, menstrual discomfort, or postnatal tension that affect daily comfort and overall well-being. As awareness grows, therapists trained in safe, evidence-informed abdominal and pelvic care are increasingly in demand.

Skilled abdominal and pelvic-focused manual therapy can help patients:
• Reduce swelling, congestion, and abdominal tightness
• Improve mobility through the pelvic bowl and visceral fascia
• Ease discomfort related to tension, adhesions, menstrual cycles, or postnatal changes
• Support balanced, functional movement through the core
• Feel more comfortable, grounded, and empowered in their bodies

what you'll learn

Through a combination of online pre-learning and in-person hands-on training, you’ll gain the skills to safely address pelvic and abdominal tension, fluid congestion, and core dysfunction ~ while understanding the structures, mechanics, and clinical reasoning needed to work confidently within the massage therapy scope.

Day 1:
Pre-Learning
​Online, On-Demand​

Build a strong foundation before the in-person class:
  • Anatomy of the abdominal quadrants, deep lymphatics, pelvic bowl, and visceral structures
  • Lymphatic involvement in women’s health (menstrual cycle, digestion, postpartum, surgical history)
  • Fascial relationships of the uterus, ovaries, bladder, bowel, diaphragm, and pelvic floor
  • Core and breath mechanics for optimal drainage and mobility
  • Safety considerations, contraindications, and clinical boundaries​
Learn at your own pace.
​Must be completed before attending in person.

day 2:
1 Full Day of Hands-On
​In-Person Training​

Learn and practice the techniques you’ll use immediately in your practice:
  • Abdominal and deep lymphatic pathway navigation
  • Visceral fascial release and mobilization techniques
  • Diaphragm release aiding lymphatic + visceral motion
  • Mobility for pelvis, lumbar spine, rib cage, and core
  • Safe, effective abdominal and pelvic cupping
  • Scar release applications 
  • Sequencing a full pelvic/abdominal treatment with clinical intent
  • Case-based reasoning: menstrual symptoms, digestive sluggishness, pelvic congestion, and post-surgical presentations
