Oncology Massage

9.5 Hours CE/CPD | Online Course with Maureen Abson

Working with clients who have cancer, are undergoing treatment, or have a history of cancer requires knowledge, sensitivity, clinical reasoning, and a clear understanding of safe practice principles.

Oncology Massage provides a practical, evidence-informed introduction to massage therapy for clients affected by cancer, helping therapists understand how to adapt treatment safely while supporting comfort, wellbeing, and quality of life.

Presented by oncology massage educator Maureen Abson, author of the bestselling book Healing Massage, this comprehensive course explores both the application of massage therapy for oncology clients and an introduction to Manual Lymphatic Drainage within the context of cancer care.

Course Overview

Across this 9.5-hour CE/CPD course, participants will develop a stronger understanding of how cancer, cancer treatments, and treatment side effects may influence massage therapy assessment, planning, treatment adaptation, and client management.

The course is divided into two complementary areas of study. The first focuses on oncology massage and the practical application of massage therapy for clients with cancer or a cancer history. The second provides an introduction to Manual Lymphatic Drainage and its role within supportive care.

Drawing upon current research and modern oncology massage principles, the course helps therapists move beyond outdated myths and develop confidence in delivering safe, appropriate, and client-centred care.

Supported by 13 online video classes, fully illustrated course notes, lesson quizzes, online examinations, certificate of completion, and lifetime access, this course provides a structured learning experience for qualified rehabilitation and healthcare professionals.
