OnLine Training
Massage Therapy Journal has two online course options based
on articles on massage and cancer authored by Tracy Walton
in the Summer and Fall 2006 issues.
These articles cover good "safety
essentials" for therapists encountering people
with cancer in practice but more intensive training is
recommended for therapists choosing specialty in the
work, planning work in an a hospital setting, etc.
> > See
Part 1 on massage therapy and essentials of cancer.
> > See Part 2 on massage therapy and cancer treatment.
Both
articles have links to the online course options.
