In this intensive course\, we combine the art and practice of touch to create safe\, effective massage sessions for clients with cancer and cancer histories. In a lively\, supportive learning environment\, participants learn simple\, concrete ways to adapt massage to cancer and cancer treatment. \nWe look closely at the dynamics of cancer spread\, shining new light on the old myth that massage was contraindicated\, and we introduce several approaches for educating the public about this common concern. We then modify traditional western massage techniques for common client presentations\, including surgery\, radiation\, chemotherapy\, bone metastasis\, vital organ involvement\, and lymphedema risk. Unique positioning and bolstering techniques are introduced for pain relief\, sleep support\, and overall comfort. \nWe introduce guidelines for a range of client presentations\, from robust to medically frail. These guidelines may be used effectively in a variety of massage settings\, including the hospital\, private practice\, spa or retreat center\, franchise\, and hospice. \nA balanced approach to learning blends lecture\, spirited discussion\, and hands-on work. In-depth homework is assigned prior to the course (instructional videos\, 2-3 hrs. total view time) and during the course (about 1 hr. of evening homework on days 1\, 2\, and 3). \nMassage therapists leave with essential oncology massage therapy tools: sample protocols\, a client intake form\, follow-up intake questions\, a visual decision tree\, clearly described pressure guidelines\, supervised hands-on practice experiences\, and an extensive training manual. \nWhat Participants Need to Bring to Class: \nUpon registration\, a Student Packet will be emailed to students. The packet will include a list of supplies to bring along with links to required preparation activities to complete in advance of the course. \nBiography of the Instructors: Nanci Newton and Erika Slocum \nNanci Newton is a 1998 graduate of the Muscular Therapy Institute and taught as an adjunct faculty member at Springfield Technical Community College in Springfield\, Massachusetts.
