Safe and Adapted Techniques for the Well-being of Cancer Patients
Oncology massage involves the application of gentle massage techniques adapted to provide well-being and improvement to cancer patients. In this workshop, we will learn about the disease processes and medical treatments for cancer, in order to ensure that our massage therapy is always safe and poses no risk to the patient.
Research has shown that oncology massage helps restore the quality of life of cancer patients by improving symptom management. Thanks to this treatment, the side effects experienced by conventional cancer therapies and the symptoms of the disease itself are reduced.
