Massage for Cancer and Supportive Care

Course tutors: Anita Mehrez & Sarah Wilkins

Course description: This 2-day course is designed for massage therapists who

want to expand their skills in massage therapy, enabling them to work safely

and effectively with people with cancer and/or other complex/life-threatening

conditions. We will explore safe and creative ways of adapting massage therapy

whilst gaining an understanding of the rationale for adapted work for clients at

all stages of a cancer journey, whether on active treatment, living beyond, or

alongside supportive and end of life care. As a teaching team we are committed

to providing a knowledge base that can be contextualised to suit a variety of

different environments. We take a zero-strain approach to massage with touch based sessions that will allow you to build your confidence working with and

without oil, through both practitioner and client experience.

Prerequisite: Level 3 Massage Therapy diploma or equivalent and at least six

month’s therapeutic practice.
