BREAST MASSAGE - THE SPURGEON METHOD™
In many parts of the world, Breast Massage is included in a regular routine to maintain healthy breast tissue. In the US, current statistics show that 1 in 8 women under the age of 60, and 1 in 4 over 60, are being diagnosed with breast cancer. As the incidence of breast cancer is on the rise, women are discovering the importance of breast massage to promote and maintain healthy breast tissue. It is now more widely accepted as a form of preventive or remedial treatment for many common breast issues.
Our class helps participants to become comfortable with the idea of Breast Massage, to understand its benefits, and how vitally important it is for everyone.
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 this class you will feel confident in performing breast massage on your self, your clients, and in addressing various breast concerns people may have.
Our second class focuses on types of massage for post-surgical issues and complications following breast cancer treatments.
