On the Cancer and Massage course, you’ll learn how to perform a perfect massage for actual and former cancer patients.
Studies show that cancer patients feel a positive effect of receiving massage. When going through a cancer course there are many side effects such as stress, depression, fatigue and pain, all of which are side effects on which massage can have significant reducing effect.
The Danish Cancer Society recommends massage – however, they recommend finding a masseur who is specifically trained to care for these vulnerable clients.
Here you can read what the Danish Cancer Society writes about massage for cancer patients.
During the course you will gain a general knowledge about cancer forms, treatments, side effects and course. You will also learn about indications and contraindications of massage to the cancer patient. In addition, we will review the theory around scar tissue, lymph edema and skin sensibility of patients with cancer.
After theoretical instruction, we will practice various forms of scar tissue massage and general massage for cancer patients.
Take part in an educational course where you will be firmly equipped to offer massages to cancer patients of the highest quality.
