One of the most comforting forms of support you can give a person with cancer is the use of touch.
Copley Hospital invites you to a free workshop that will teach simple touching techniques to provide comfort and help relieve pain and anxiety. It is a workshop that will both inspire and empower you. The workshop is Saturday, April 7th from 10:00am-11:30am.
Local expert Catherine Cerulli, M.Ed. will provide detailed instructions in cancer support and oncology massage.
There will also be instruction in acupressure for pain, anxiety and nausea.
You'll learn safe and simple techniques anyone can apply, including: safety precautions, positioning on home furniture (bed, sofa, chair at kitchen table), frame of mind, communication, and simple techniques for the head and face, neck, back and shoulders, hands, and feet.
You'll go home with new skills and a detailed instructional handout that includes all techniques covered in the workshop, as well as additional resources.
Please R.S.V.P. by April 5th to Copley Hospital's Wellness Center 888-8369.
