I am looking to discuss this article as I feel it is missing a great deal of information that is already available. Not a mention of Gayle MacDonald's book, " Medicine Hands," or of any of the established educational/certification programs presently offered throughout the United States.Too bad the authors missed a great opportunity to show they did their research.Continue

It was so wonderful to see the interest in Massage and Cancer at the AMTA convention. Both lectures were sold out. Tracy Walton was also amazing. It was such an amazing experience to be with everyone. Will repeat this at the World Massage Conference - be sure to ck it out.

Hi Eeris, thanks for the response. I see that you focus on Breast Cancer. I am always interested in finding out more and other ways people treat their clients. I will look on your site to find out more. I usually treat post surgical clients specifically for breast cancer and implants. My workshop focus is dealing with TOS, Edema, Restricted ROM, Altered sensation and treatment of scars.
It would be interesting to find out what other are doing. I will have a look to see when your next workshop is.
