Massage therapy is a growing part of cancer care.
People seek massage therapy during treatment, end of
life, diagnosis, and survivorship. In this lively,
interactive course, we outline the steps for working
safely and skillfully with people with cancer and
cancer histories.
To do this, we dispel the myths surrounding massage
and cancer, and discuss concrete massage adjustments
for a broad range of client presentations, including
bone and vital organ involvement, lymphedema,
thrombosis, and side effects of common cancer
treatments. We assemble questions into a brief client
interview, and learn how to use the client’s answers
directly in the massage plan. We work with case
studies in class, and discuss when and how to include
the client’s physician in the massage planning.
We introduce simple tools to smooth the way for safe,
effective massage. We use a quick “decision tree”
format to identify massage contraindications and map
out our adjustments in pressure, joint movement,
client position, and other factors. With an
easy-to-use pressure scale, we describe the massage
pressures used for different states of health, from
robust to medically frail. The tools can be used for
other medical conditions commonly encountered in
massage settings: spas, hospitals, and private
practice.
Note: There is brief hands-on instruction in this
workshop, but massage tables are not required. Please
wear sleeves that are easily rolled up for work on the
arms. Hand towels and lotion will be provided.
