l WHY BLENDED LEARNING MATTERS l

When working with people affected by cancer, safety, clarity and clinical awareness aren’t optional. They are essential.
That’s why OMT’s blended learning model is designed to give therapists more than information. It builds real, supervised competence that translates directly into safe, confident clinical practice.

Here’s how our pathway supports therapists:

💚 Evidence-based online theory
Flexible, structured learning that builds strong foundations in oncology, treatment effects and safety principles.

💚 Live educator-led sessions
Space to deepen understanding, ask questions, explore case scenarios and refine clinical reasoning with experienced facilitators.

💚 In-person practical sessions
Where safe touch becomes second nature. Pressure calibration, positioning, decision-making and adapting for devices or treatment effects are all practised under expert supervision.

This is how knowledge becomes skill.
How skill becomes confidence.
And how therapists feel prepared to support clients affected by cancer with professionalism, care and clarity.

If you’re ready to learn the OMT way with structure, support and nationally standardised excellence, we invite you to explore upcoming intakes via our website.

l SLEEP, STRESS & CANCER l

Sleep disruptions are common for people affected by cancer, and research from Johns Hopkins Medicine shows how poor sleep can influence immune function, inflammation, hormone regulation and overall wellbeing.

Oncology Massage does not treat cancer.
What it can offer is gentle support for relaxation, nervous system calming, physical comfort and moments of ease that may help some clients rest more deeply.

These small shifts in comfort can make a meaningful difference in day-to-day life, especially during treatment or recovery.

If you want to provide safe, evidence-informed care for clients affected by cancer, Oncology Massage Training gives you the skills, structure and clinical understanding to adapt touch with confidence.

l MINI TUTORIAL - STUDENT TESTIMONIAL l

Why do so many therapists value our Mini Tutorials?
Because they offer exactly what safe oncology massage practice requires — a chance to refresh skills, rebuild confidence, and practice in a supportive, professionally supervised environment.

Our Mini Tutorials give students the opportunity to:
✨ Revisit key techniques from OM1 + OM2
✨ Ask questions in real time with our experienced facilitators
✨ Practice hands-on adaptations with guidance
✨ Receive immediate, personalised feedback
✨ Refine pressure, pace, positioning and communication
✨ Reconnect with peers who share the same commitment to safe oncology care

One of the most powerful parts of this training is the opportunity to learn both as the therapist and as the “patient.”
Feeling the techniques firsthand helps students develop deeper clinical awareness — understanding not only how to apply safe, adaptive touch, but how that touch is experienced by someone who is living with cancer.
This dual perspective is what strengthens sensitivity, safety, and professionalism.

Mini Tutorials exist to support you — to help you remember, refine and return to practice with clarity and confidence.

l INTEGRATIVE CANCER CARE RESEARCH l

“Irvine, Calif., Nov. 24, 2025 — Around the world, doctors, nurses and pharmacists are turning to evidence-based integrative approaches such as acupuncture, yoga, exercise, massage and nutrition counseling to help people with cancer manage the harsh side effects of treatment.”
— UC Irvine News, 2025
Source: UC Irvine-led global study on integrative cancer care

This global research highlights a significant trend in modern oncology:
integrative, evidence-based supportive care is becoming a core component of treatment worldwide.

For therapists working with people affected by cancer, staying across current research is essential. Oncology continues to evolve, and so do supportive-care recommendations, treatment effects and best-practice frameworks.

Research like this reinforces the value of continual learning:
• Understanding how treatments impact safety and adaptations
• Working confidently with medically complex clients
• Strengthening communication with health teams
• Grounding practice in evidence, structure and safety

As integrative cancer care expands globally, the demand for well-trained, oncology-aware therapists continues to grow.
