Our classes are aimed at teaching manual therapists how to work with people undergoing breast issues. They are also helpful for anyone wishing to learn more about this often neglected part of our anatomy.

These days, many women who come to our office have, or have had, some kind of breast concern. Whether it is an issue post-surgery or questions about changes and discomfort that happen as they age, as massage therapists we are in the unique position of being able to help them. 

In the US, current statistics show that 1 in 8 women are being diagnosed with breast cancer each year. Having the knowledge to address clients’ (and perhaps your own) fears or concerns about treatment, and being able to confidently work with these clients is imperative. 

 
Lymphatic fluid, which is vital for healthy tissue throughout the body, is most effectively moved through the breasts by manual manipulation. In many parts of the world Breast Massage is included in a regular routine to maintain healthy breasts and more people are discovering the importance of breast massage to promote and maintain healthy breast tissue. It has become more widely accepted as a form of preventive or remedial treatment for many common breast issues. 

 
The Spurgeon Method® – a manual therapy technique for the upper torso, including the breast – is offered by trained therapists in many parts of the country. The class we teach was developed after our founder's own experience with breast cancer and is an expansion of material found in the book Breast Massage by Debra Curties, RMT. It helps participants to become comfortable with the idea of giving and receiving Breast Massage. It explains the benefits and helps you understand how vitally important it is for everyone. 

After taking the basic class, participants will be able to identify the following: 

The composition of breast tissue and its boundaries 

The changes of the tissue in pre and post menopausal stages 

The changes of the tissue during the lactation process 

The lymphatic ducts and the drainage pathways important to breast tissue 

Signs and symptoms of issues that can arise in the breasts 

The musculoskeletal referral patterns of breast pain 

Indications and contraindications for breast massage 

 
The class will also cover the legal issue of breast massage. 

After taking our classes, you will feel confident in performing breast massage on yourself and on your clients, and will be able to address various breast concerns people may have. 

The Spurgeon Method® was presented at the American Occupational Therapist Association's Annual Conference this year as a modality to help post-mastectomy patients regain function, It was included at the Conference following the 'statistically significant' results of a research study by Cindy Veasey at A T Still University, AZ Dept of Health Sciences. Our aim is to make the treatment available to everyone who undergoes breast cancer surgery.
