Description
Ideal for qualified massage and bodywork therapists wanting to expand their knowledge and skills, this unique resource brings together
the most common forms of bodywork with a focus on this important and challenging area of practice. Emphasizing the need for safe practice,
this book illustrates how massage can be safely adapted for patients and dispels some misconceptions about working with people who have
cancer. Key topics include integrative and collaborative working, the psychological aspects of bodywork, therapists as teachers, professionalism,
the control of symptoms, working with vulnerability, potency in practice, and the skilful combination of voice and touch.

Health care professionals, such as nurses, physiotherapists and occupational therapists.
