Chikly Health Institute

Chikly Health Institute Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) is an original hands-on method of lymphatic drainage developed by Bruno Chikly, MD, DO.

The Chikly Health Institute, an educational organization, teaches you how to connect with your patients in a deeper and more specific way through cutting-edge lymphatic drainage, brain and heart-centered therapy courses. Created out of his award-winning research on the lymphatic system, LDT takes traditional lymph drainage techniques and adds a level of precision consistent with recent scientific discoveries. LDT is the first modality to work with the specific rhythm of lymph (described by scientific experiments), the specific depth and direction of the lymph flow, in the skin, mucosa, muscles, viscera, bones or dura and pia membranes. From there practitioners can use their hands to perform Manual Lymphatic Mapping (MLM) of the vessels to assess overall circulation and determine the best alternate pathways for draining body-fluid stagnations. The result of these actions can include:

- Reduction in edemas (swelling) and lymphedemas of various origins

- Detoxification of the body

- Regeneration of tissue, including burns, wounds and wrinkles

- Anti-aging effects

- Relief of numerous chronic and subacute inflammations, including sinusitis, bronchitis and otitis

- Relief of chronic pain

- Reduction in the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia

- Antispastic actions to relieve conditions such as muscle hypertonus and some forms of constipation

- Deep relaxation to aid insomnia, stress, loss of vitality and loss of memory

- Alleviation of adiposis and cellulite tissue

Craniosacral vs. Chikly Brain Curriculum—Why Both Matter 🧠

Craniosacral Therapy offers gentle, rhythmic techniques to balance the craniosacral system, creating a safe, receptive space for healing. It’s especially powerful for clients navigating trauma, stress, or chronic pain.

Dr. Bruno Chikly’s Brain Curriculum takes things deeper: precise manual work with brain structures, nerves, and vasculature to support advanced neurological function.

Why this combo resonates: Together, they form a whole-system approach—from fascia and fluid to brain tissue and cranial nerves. It’s the synergy of softness and precision, safety and specificity.

Healing that meets the body where it is—and guides it where it’s ready to go.
