EP 304 – LYMPH NODES REMOVED WITH REBECCA STURGEON

December 16, 2022 by Rianne Chavez

A massage therapist has some clients who have battled breast cancer and who have had lymph nodes removed. They are active, and healthy, and report no signs of lymphedema . . . and they want “massage as usual” on their affected arms.

Is that possible? Is it advisable? What could go wrong?

In this short, pithy discussion, Rebecca Sturgeon, co-author of Oncology Massage: An Integrative Approach to Cancer Care and educational director at Healwell, and Ruth Werner discuss the options that this practitioner might consider to keep those clients safe while offering satisfying bodywork.
