Massage Therapy And Cancer

Plot

Massage practitioners often express concern about whether they have sufficient knowledge about cancer or understanding of how massage therapy interacts with cancer progression and cancer therapies. Massage Therapy and Cancer begins with an exploration of what cancer is and how it spreads, the rationales associated with medical treatment modalities, and the states of emotional and physical health experienced by cancer patients as a result of their illness and the treatments they usually receive for it. This information is then combined with current understanding of the effects, risks, and efficacies of massage therapy. The result is a manual which offers reasonable answers and practical information about massage therapy and clients who have cancer.
