Webinar #6 Course Description:
Some strong cancer treatments can be
toxic. Many massage approaches and spa treatments are aimed at
detoxifying the tissues of the body. Although it can be tempting use
massage to attempt to ?speed up? the movement of toxins out of the body, we
explain why this is not a good idea with a client who is undergoing
cancer treatment. Instead, we discuss safer alternative approaches to
use.
