terapeuta de atención al cáncer.<br />
Con más frecuencia, huéspedes con antecedentes de cáncer acuden<br />
a spas esperando recibir masajes y faciales personalizados. Los<br />
terapeutas deben estar preparados para recibir a todos los huéspedes,<br />

pueden estar en tratamiento activo contra el cáncer o tener antecedentes<br />
de cáncer. Aprenden a tener cuidado con el tejido cicatricial, mejorar<br />
la amplitud de movimiento, potenciar la función linfática y mantener la<br />
integridad de la piel. Se incluyen rituales de manos y pies,<br />

huéspedes con alopecia.<br />
