Oncology Massage Global (OMG) provides Internationally endorsed online learning for therapists and care-givers who want to learn how to provide effective and safe massage for those with a diagnosis of cancer.
Our course equips therapists to treat clients with complex health issues from diagnosis through treatment to end-of-life care. Practical skills are taught via video on the teaching platform, which can be viewed repeatedly. Practical meetings are limited to 4 therapists per facilitator, ensuring small group work.
The content includes diverse multimedia to keep you engaged. Topics are broken into short presentations for easy progress, even with limited time. There are questions and challenges to reinforce learning, along with regular online meetings with facilitators for discussions, case studies, and inquiries.
At the course’s end, you’ll design a full-body massage considering correct draping, positioning, treatment length, medical devices, and vital health considerations.
If your time zone differs from Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST), inform our administrator; we may offer various meeting times. One-on-one sessions with facilitators can be arranged if needed.

Module 1 comprises 4 units, each including a practical element and each to be completed in a 2-week period. The virtual class will meet online weekly to review the content before proceeding to the next section of the unit.
