MORE ABOUT CANCER CARE AND MASSAGE

Course overview

Breast cancer and prostate cancer are the two most common cancers in women and men, respectively. In search of support and symptom relief, patients with breast or prostate cancer find their way to massage therapy in spas, franchises, and medical settings. In this lively, interactive webinar series, Tracy Walton highlights key massage contraindications for these conditions. If you wonder "What questions do I ask a client with prostate cancer?" or "How and why should I modify my massage for certain breast cancer treatments?" or "How do I explain these modifications to my client?" then this is the right series for you! Tracy answers these questions with clear guidelines, case studies, and resources for further reading and study in oncology massage. She introduces principles and practices of massage for people with cancer, and applies them to specific client scenarios. She even explores the role of massage therapists in teaching caregivers to massage their loved ones. Drawing on 22 years of practice and a wealth of client experience, she offers some basic steps to safe, effective massage practice for these common conditions. Tracy's well-known clarity and compassion come through in each webinar.
