Currently a satellite therapist with FLOW Lymphatic Health Clinic.

Ivan Duben has dedicated himself to utilizing the hands on techniques and principles of traditional manual osteopathy along with a modern approach of focusing his practice in the maintenance of the lymphovascular system.This involves correcting vascular insufficiencies that will contribute to lymphatic congestion and chronic health complaints.The lymphatic system consists of superficial layers as well as deep layers. Proper lymphatic drainage and function relies on the ability of the body to successfully transport lymph from the superficial layers to the deep layers and vice versa, on its own. When the balance between the two systems is off then the body cannot manage its own lymphatic congestion efficiently.

Ivan has been working with a unique approach to liberating limitations in the vascular system and improving the ability of the body to deliver adequate blood flow in all directions. Within each person the circulatory system can be viewed as a vascular tree that must be able to deliver blood to all the branches, organs and tissues. The lymphatic system requires that the pressure in the vascular tree be ideal for adequate lymphatic flow. Hence the term lymphovascular system. Too much or too little tension or pressure within the circulatory vascular system will contribute to lymphatic congestion as well as many other possible complaints. Patients can expect a process that will address their specific situation over a series of treatments.
