Palliative Care Panel: Improving Quality of Life Through Massage

The focus of palliative care is improving the quality of your client’s life at any stage of illness by alleviating the discomfort, symptoms, and stress associated with the client’s condition. Palliative care is unique in that you are often working as part of a team and not in the isolation of your treatment room. In these short TED-type presentations, you’ll get insights from some of the top experts in palliative care and learn how you can make this type of work part of your practice. Presentations include "Serving Hospice—Do You Have What it Takes?" with Ann Catlin, "Massage for the Wheelchair Client" with Sharon Puszko, "A Perfectly Peaceful Combination: Massage and Essential Oils for Hospice Patients" with Lisa Browder, and "The Role and Benefits of Massage in Palliative Care" with Rudi Pauli.
