Course programme

Course Programme:


As a Complementary Practitioner, it is vital to be fully educated and trained before working on anyone who has or has had cancer. To be a safe and truly effective therapist we must have a clear understanding of cancer and how we as the therapist need to adapt our treatments for the client.

This course is designed to give you a greater understanding of cancer, its causes and common treatments used today. We then explore the use of Oncology Reflexology to treat the side-effects of the various treatments on offer and to improve the sufferer`s quality of life.

Refelxology now plays a major role in palliative care (symptom relief) for cancer patients, and is used by many hospitals, hospices and self-help groups. It can also be used to help family, friends and carers.

The use of Complementary Therapies for clients suffering from Cancer is becoming more and more the norm than the exception. With current epidemiology suggesting that 4 in 10 people will experience cancer during their lifetime and the number of newly diagnosed cases in adults over the age of 50 doubling every decade, more and more therapists will work with clients who have, or have recovered from cancer.

During this 4 day course you will cover the following:

DAYS ONE AND TWO:
  • Overview of cancer and the allopathic treatment
  • Major causes of Cancer
  • Cancer prevention - the role of complementary therapist
  • Types of Cancer - Statistics and trends
  • The basic physiology of cancer and metastasis
  • Symptoms that may indicate potential cancer
  • Conventional and alternative cancer tests
  • Understanding how cancer spreads
  • Exploring the issues of massage and cancer
  • Understanding psychological aspects of living with a potentially fatal disease
  • Conventional cancer treatments, their side-effects and controversies
DAYS THREE AND FOUR:
  • The Efficacy of Touch – The role of Complementary Therapies in Cancer Care
  • The Physiological and Psychological Benefits of touch in Cancer Care.
  • Basic rules for therapists
  • Various ways in which reflexology may be used to help the individual come to terms with cancer and to help them help themselves
    Adapted reflexology techniques
  • The effects on family, friends and relatives caring for people suffering from cancer
Assessment:
You will be required to sit a 75 minute exam (25 multiple choice questions and 25 short answer questions), usually on Day 3 of the course.

In addition students will be required to submit a project on a particular aspect of cancer. The project should be approx. 2000 words (minimum 1000) and be correctly referenced.

Evidence of clinical experience (case studies) is encouraged, where possible, for all attendees and distinction grades may only be awarded to those who have provided this. The deadline for completing all assessment requirements is 6 months from the completion of the course.

A diploma certificate will be issued following completed course work and exams.

Please note: Therapists who have completed the Oncology Massage Diploma will be exempt from the first weekend of this course and the course fees will be discounted accordingly
