Hospice Massage

Hello!

Im actively researching a story of the benifits of massag therapy with hospice patients. I am going to be starting with hospice in the coming weeks so for one, Im researching all I can to be better prepared and, two, I am taking a speech class and have chosen to do an informative speech on the subject. Since I have not experienced working with anyone at the end of life stages I was hoping someone on line could offer me a wonderful experience so I can share in my speech. Hope to hear from someone.

Thank you,

Ginger

Might look into joining some of the groups targeted with End of Life Care/ Hospice. I know they're around here too- might be able to get a more direct answer there on those....gl.

Check out Google Scholar, there have been quite a few research studies done on this topic.
