Massage Therapy For People Living With Cancer

This course provides the information and experience to prepare therapists to work safely and confidently with clients who have a history of cancer or who are currently in treatment for 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 with cancer, regardless of the stage of their condition. 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.
