This class was created as a way for therapists to learn how to offer breast health education, as well as provide a quality chest and breast massage to healthy breast tissue. Techniques can be applied to all genders and the class is open to students of all genders. In particular, the regulations for providing breast massage in WA State will be reviewed. The first morning will be a lecture focusing on ethics (credit for 2 hours of ethics will be given), regulations and communication. In the afternoon we will review anatomy, breast self-massage and start trades with proper draping and a basic chest and breast massage protocol that can be included as part of any full-body massage.

Here is a link to videos of lecture materials to help prepare you for class.

Day 2 will focus on furthering our breast massage protocol for particular client populations, as well as lymphatic massage. We will also discuss relevant marketing and office consent policies to support breast massage in your practice. The day will finish with learning a thorough breast self-check and information about breast screening.
