A number of schools exist which offer lymphedema therapist training programs. Some of these schools also provide training courses for friends and relatives of persons with lymphedema. In some cases, persons with lymphedema may be able to do some of the techniques themselves. Many of these schools also provide books and videos outlining their techniques. The longest course program is offered by the Vodder School of North America which is the most active of these schools in Canada.
Training is available to health care practitioners.
