Massage Therapy for Cancer Patients
3 days – with Susan Findlay
This course provides the information and
experience to prepare therapists to work safely and confidently with
clients who have a history of cancer i.e. post-treatment of cancer. The focus will be on working with an open heart and
developing the art of being present.
Comfort-orientated massage or touch can be
offered to people living with cancer. The aim is to introduce
therapists to the basics of oncology massage and the experience gained
from this course will create new found confidence in therapists wishing
to, or already working in, this challenging, rewarding and very special
work. This training is equally valid and will be equally beneficial
whether you work from home or in a clinic, community or NHS setting.
Gayle MacDonald MS LMT, has worked with cancer patients at Oregon University Hospital for over 20 years, supervising massage therapists working on oncology wards, and in chemotherapy, radiotherapy and bone marrow transplant units.
'Massage for People Living with Cancer' is designed for
accredited diploma level 3 Massage graduates. Therapists from other
bodywork modalities, nurses and other interested health professional are
also invited to apply but may be required to complete an access module
