Oncology Massage Essentials

This course is for the practicing massage therapist to learn how to work safely and effectively with a client who has had a diagnosis of cancer. The class will cover how to modify a massage to address safely and comfort concerns before, during, and after treatment, including late-term effects of treatment.

The class is a combination of home study, lecture, class participation, and hands-on experience, including a clinic on the last day with cancer survivors or peer-to-peer massages incorporating the information and modifications to massage presented in the first two days.

At the conclusion of the course, the massage therapist (with at least 1 year of experience) will have the minimum requirements to apply to the Society for Oncology Massage as a Preferred Practitioner.

Courses will be taught by Lucy Allen & Kathy Hallman, or Lucas Foote. Oncology Massage of the Carolinas is a Recognized Education Provider with the Society for Oncology Massage (S4OM.org) and NCBTMB.
