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. We will carefully dismantle the long-held contraindication to massage and discuss current research 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. A balanced approach to learning blends lecture, spirited discussion, and hands-on work with volunteer clients with cancer.
