Description du produit

Medicine Hands debunks a pervasive health myth that massage is anathema for those suffering with cancer. The idea that cancer can metastasize as a result of massage is not rooted in any science. This book cites clinical evidence that proves just the opposite. Touch and massage are vital to a cancer patient’s health and well-being. Medicine Hands is a practical book written for both health professionals and the lay person. Research is highlighted with anecdotes, stories, and vignettes of cancer patients, massage therapists, caregivers, hospice workers and other health professionals. Practical information is presented on administering touch, drug-related considerations, providing care at home, and dealing with hospital and hospice situations. Medicine Hands is an invaluable resource for:
Massage therapists and other touch therapists
Cancer patients and their caregivers and families
Oncologists and cancer treatment centers
Natural health clinics
Massage and alternative medicine educational settings
Health care professionals: nurses, doctors, hospice workers
