Degree:Not Applicable
Field of Study:Massage Therapy/Therapeutic Massage
Length:24 Hour(s)

Description:

This intensive course combines the art and science of touch to create safe, effective massage sessions for clients with cancer, in cancer treatment and with cancer histories. In a lively, supportive learning environment, we carefully debunk the long-held contraindication to massage and discuss current research findings about the benefits of touch for people with cancer.

Participants learn essential cancer intake questions, proper follow-up on the client’s answers, and proven strategies to determine when and how to involve a client’s physician in decision-making.
