Course Overview
Includes: • A copy of Oncology Massage: An Integrative Approach to Cancer Care • PDF handouts, printable slides, and a downloadable reflection journal This foundational training helps massage therapists safely and compassionately support clients affected by cancer. Rooted in trauma-informed and client-centered care, the course focuses on adapting pressure, site, position, and duration based on individual needs. Rather than teaching a single method, you’ll develop the confidence to make clinical decisions tailored to each client’s health history, cancer journey, and comfort. You'll gain the skills and confidence to meet clients exactly where they are- whether newly diagnosed, in active treatment, navigating recovery, or living with a history of cancer.
