Medicine Hands
Medicine Hands: Massage Therapy for People with Cancer | Gayle MacDonald
1 post | 1 read
The field of oncology massage is maturing into a discipline with a deeper and deeper body of knowledge. The 3rd edition of Medicine Hands reflects this maturation. Every chapter contains updated information and insights into massaging people affected by cancer. New chapters have been added to cover each stage of the cancer experience: treatment, recovery, survivorship, side effects from the disease, and end of life. These new chapters and organizational structure will make it easier for the reader to find the information needed to plan the massage session for a given client. In addition, a new chapter has been added that focuses on the Pressure/Site/Positioning framework. This is the clinical framework around which the massage session is planned.

I‘ve been in school studying medical massage since October. I graduate December 7th. My focus will be Oncology Massage so I started reading this to get a leg up before taking courses for certification in this area. This was an excellent read. It was informative and a useful resource that I‘m sure I‘ll reference often.

Amiable How awesome! What a wonderful and much-needed program. 2y
DinoMom This is a very rewarding aspect of a massage career. I spent many years doing this work, as I am registered manage therapist. I also worked a lot with PTSD, but then transitionined out the human world into animal massage and rehab. All three areas were very rewarding. Good luck with you massage career. 2y
