Level 2 Therapeutic Massage Course for the Terminally Ill

This course is designed to provide new skills to care workers who support people suffering with terminal illnesses. Dealing with a terminal illness is often both painful and stressful; so many patients explore complementary therapies including acupuncture, hypnotherapy, and herbal remedies to help alleviate some of their more difficult symptoms. When coupled with conventional treatments, complementary medicine can offer terminally ill patients tools to lessen their suffering.

Care workers will be given the knowledge and practice to be able to support people with terminal illness with confidence that they have been trained by the best. They’ll be using quality massage oils and towels and pillows, in a relaxing and comfortable environment.

This course covers the following:

• What is Therapeutic massage?
• Techniques
• The benefits of therapeutic massage
• Using Therapeutic Massage on people who are confined to a bed
