Oncology Massage is a form of non-invasive, compassionate touch, which uses a light pressure, with slow and steady movements to help the body relax. It is very much a holistic based therapy, based on compassion, care and specialised massage treatments to help people manage both their physical and emotional reactions to cancer.
Much of the evidence around oncology massage indicates that it helps improve the client’s quality of life, with some of the benefits being improved relaxation, sleep, and immune function as well as relieving anxiety, pain, fatigue, and nausea.
Oncology Massage Therapists are trained to help understand that clients have their own personal experience with cancer. By the end of this course, you’ll have some great techniques to be able to offer an individualised massage treatment, to comfort, nurture and support clients in their own healing journey.
Open to qualified Therapists with a Level 3 in Massage and Anatomy and Physiology.
