Most massage therapists in practice today readily acknowledge that if they received any

breast massage education at all when they were in training, they did not receive enough.

Breast health care is vitally important to women, yet most do not know how to find practitioners

who will support their breast tissue health. Massage therapists can provide gentle and effective

treatment of a number of the breast complaints that women have, including post-surgical and

scar work, easing of discomforts of pregnancy and breastfeeding, treatment of congestion and

edema, and alleviation of many of the causes of breast pain.Massage therapists can also play

a role in supporting our clients' regular breast monitoring practices.

While most massage practitioners believe in the therapeutic value of breast massage, most do

not have confidence in their skills in relation to this sensitive area of treatment. This groundbreaking

book provides the knowledge and understanding that massage therapists need to be able to offer

breast massage when appropriate, as part of the fundamental set of health care services we provide

for those who choose massage therapy.
