People who are undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment can have special needs. Under the current training and regulation of beauty therapists, therapists are not permitted to use traditional beauty techniques on people living with cancer unless that person can provide a letter from their GP approving treatment.
Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this when they book an appointment.
Also, some patients’ GPs may be unwilling to sign off beauty treatments, potentially because they do not have an understanding of the situation or they are aware of some restrictions on massage. The benefit of Cancer Touch Therapy treatments is that, because they are already approved, people do not need this letter to be treated by a trained therapist.
