Description
Authors Janet Penny and Rebecca Sturgeon join the podcast to discuss their new book and how it builds on the work of professional luminaries like Gayle MacDonald and Tracy Walton. We discuss mythbusting massage therapy and cancer care, working as part of an integrative team with other health-care providers, and considerations and treatment approaches. With the chances ever-increasing that all practitioners will work with someone either currently undergoing treatment or having undergone treatment in the past, it’s critical to understand considerations when working with his population and the nuances of pressure, position, duration, and site to ensure client safety. Janet Penny is a registered massage therapist and has extensive experience working with people living with cancer in both her private practice and at an integrative cancer center in Ontario, Canada. She has developed an approach that addresses the multifaceted needs of oncology massage clients, including focus on pre- and post-surgical treatments, scar tissue, radiation fibrosis, and neuropathy. Rebecca Sturgeon started her career as a massage therapist in 2008 and began working with oncology patients in 2010. She has worked in clinical and community environments, providing massage and manual lymphatic drainage. She has been a massage therapy educator for the majority of her career and currently works as the Education Director for Healwell.
