We intend to dispel many myths about massaging people with cancer and to impart hard-won knowledge to those wanting to support people in their battle with this disorder. It has the unique perspective of experiences with malignant melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma. It is predominantly a ‘hands-on’ training and, as such, consists mainly of practical work. Applicable to other disorders including fluid retention.
Topics include: * Myths: what are they? * The Importance of Massage for People with Cancer * Lymphatic & Immune System * The Importance of Touch * Cautions and Contra-indications * Massage: limitations and boundaries * Consultation * Clients’ Record-Sheet * pH Testing * Pulse synchronisation * Carrier-Oils * Full-body Massage sequence * Lymphatic Drainage Massage * Castor Oil Compress * Adapting massage to different situations
