About the Book

A practical book written for both health professionals and the layperson, this newly revised guide deconstructs common myths about the use of massage in cancer treatment. Reviewing literature that shows cancer to be caused by genetic mutation and the influence of hormones, the opening discussion emphasizes that mechanical action such as massage does not break tumors open or cause them to spread. The book purports that the real medical issues for massage ... more

      New: New The reader will gain the confidence to administer massage to their clients who have a history of cancer treatment. They will clearly know how to adjust their massage techniques in order to give massage sessions in a safe manner. Therapists and other health care providers will understand the real issues that are of concern to practitioners embarking on work with a client treated for cancer. In the past metastasis was thought to be the issue. Now science understands that genetic mutation and hormonal influences are responsible for rise and spread of cancer. Mechanical action such as massage does not play a role in the spread of cancer. What practitioners will gain from Medicine Hands is knowledge of the real issues regarding cancer and massage. These reasons revolve around the type of treatments a client has received such as chemotherapy radiation and surgery. Oncology professionals will use Medicine Hands to gather ideas about ameliorating the side effects of conventional cancer treatments. It will be a resource for advising their patients in the use of complementary and alternative modalities.

      About the Book

      A practical book written for both health professionals and the layperson, this newly revised guide deconstructs common myths about the use of massage in cancer treatment. Reviewing literature that shows cancer to be caused by genetic mutation and the influence of hormones, the opening discussion emphasizes that mechanical action such as massage does not break tumors open or cause them to spread. The book purports that the real medical issues for massage therapists center on ameliorating the discomfort of treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. The topics covered include massage in hospitals, in respite care, for the dying, and for exhausted caregivers, with appendices summarizing research on oncology patients and massage. Charts for the adjustment of massage techniques according to the treatment a patient is undergoing are also included.
