Beyond the Dura Conference Bridges Complementary
and Mainstream Medicine Building bridges
— it’s a common phrase among therapists
hoping to bring complementary medicine into
the mainstream arena. Yet at Beyond the Dura

recently held in South Florida, physicians

Sessions
by Don Ash, PT, CST-D
Broken Glass
Hey, accidents happen. Bad things happen
to good people and timing is always the
worst. When this happens, lives become broken.
Activities change or cease. The structure

their families, their employees, themselves.
Some-times those features of a life, thought
to be solid, stable and structured, simply
shatter
and fall apart.

applied, Lymph Drainage Therapy can save
a limb, improve a life and change a lifetime.
