It seems we all know someone undergoing a cancer diagnosis or cancer treatment. Massage can help, if the therapist has the correct training and assessment skills to provide a safe and effective treatment plan.
In this class you will learn indications, contraindication, modifications, and we will discuss what cancer is, how it is treated, how it affects our clients, what is safe for someone undergoing treatment and what is not. Massage is safe when integrated into the patient’s overall treatment plan when their Oncology Treating Team provides medical clearance.
The gentle and therapeutic massage techniques you will learn are an introduction to a basic oncology massage therapy session that will be safe for your clients with a cancer diagnosis or undergoing cancer treatment. Oncology Massage can help clients assimilate medications more effectively, ease the effects of radiation, help clients reduce nausea, prepare the body for the traumatic effects of and recovery from surgery, improve mind-body awareness, lift spirits and more, facilitating a more positive experience, when integrated into the patient’s overall treatment plan with their Oncology Treating Team.
This class is hands-on, so bring your table and hands-on supplies, plus 3-4 pillows, 4 hand towels, wear comfortable clothing for a hands-on exchange and practice.
Be prepared to actively participate to level up your massage and bodywork therapy skills!
Registrants must complete Day 1 as a prerequisite before attending Day 2
