Introduction to Principal Cancer Treatments will be followed by Clinical Considerations: Massage Therapy Adjustments to Disease and Treatment side effects. General Massage Therapy Adjustments will be discussed. Our Last day of class, when it is the time for hands on. The students will be paired with a client of the instructions that is living with cancer. Then the student will have to demonstrate the ability to have an interview, setting a safe plan for the session, understanding any side effects from treatment and possible positional adjustments.If it is unsafe for clients living with cancer to attend, the hands-on portion will be a peer to peer setting with “case study” role playing for each session to display interview, setting a plan for the session and possible positional adjustments needed.

On our last day each student will make their own intake form for this special population.
