Course Title
: Massage for Cancer and Supportive Care
Description: 
This 2-day course is designed for massage therapists who want to expand their skills in massage therapy, enabling them to work safely and effectively with people with cancer and/or other complex/life-threatening conditions.
We will explore safe and creative ways of adapting massage therapy whilst gaining an understanding of the rationale for adapted work for clients at all stages of a cancer journey, whether on active treatment, living beyond, or alongside supportive and end of life care. As a teaching team we are committed to providing a knowledge base that can be contextualised to suit a variety of different environments.
We take a zero-strain approach to massage with touch-based sessions that will allow you to build your confidence working with and without oil, through both practitioner and client experience.
Our tutors have a combined 25 plus years of experience working with patients in-situ at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust and other cancer and supportive care settings, as well as extensive therapeutic experience in other areas within healthcare, charity and private sectors.

Note:
 The Integrated Therapies Training Unit (ITTU) continuously strives to provide current, evidence-based educational events to equip Integrative Therapists and Health Care Professionals with relevant skills and knowledge to apply in their roles.
Although many of the courses discuss ways of adapting practice when providing therapies to patients with a cancer diagnosis, we maintain that the aims of our educational events are to increase understanding of cancer and the delivery of suitable complementary therapies for therapeutic purposes in this patient cohort. Therapies are to be offered alongside medical treatment as a means to enhance physical and psychological wellbeing, and never as a treatment for the underlying cancer.

Great experience for football club and it is very well guided for the tour.

Chinatown

苏河家园

Stepping into Manchester China City, it seems to be through a time-space tunnel, and instantly enter a place full of Oriental charm. Traditional archway, porch of dragons and phoenixes, full of strong oriental charm. Chinatown is a great place to experience diverse Asian cultures, with restaurants, shops, supermarkets and more.

The University of Manchester

EN the traveller

The University is located not too far from Chinatown, making this a nice day trip for those looking to checkout a UK university and have a nice meal after.

Best place to drink cheap, but tasty drinks and be entertained by drag queens. Good music and usually quiet, peaceful company.
