Wheeling In Good Hands & Dying in Good Hands with Christine Sutherland
Live Stream
$150 + HST
Description:
This one day workshop will cover the two topics of Wheelchair and Palliative massage.
-
The Wheeling in Good Hands session will be learning to teach with Christine showing a number of wheelchair scenarios from short term to chronic care and palliative care.
-
The Dying in Good Hands session will be taught hands on with circulatory preventative and remedial massage for pressure sores, digestive and respiratory routines to ease symptoms and make that last breath more peaceful.
This course is available in class, or live online. Those participating online should have a family member or friend with them to practice on (bonus if you have access to a person using a wheelchair, but any body will do!) Christine will ask online participants to arrive 30 minutes early and keep their cameras on. She would like to be able to give feedback to those not in class.
Duration:
4 hours
Delivery Model:
Live Stream (1 day)
Modules:
Module 1:
Christine will have participants spending time in a wheelchair to give and get a massage as well as learning to teach wheelchair techniques. The Wheeling in Good Hands book will guide this module.
Module 2:
Students/participants will know what it feels like to be “rib raked”; to be massaged in a wheelchair and to be able to massage their grandparents, parents or spouses immediately. The opportunity to talk about the departures for all of us will be included here. The Dying in Good Hands book will be used in this final session.
