In Louey, Jade Quélin, massage practitioner, specialized two months ago in the care of chronic patients. Its tailor-made massages are aimed at patients who cross cancer or chronic pain such as endometriosis. Pathologies that she knows well.
She quickly understood that she would not end her life in catering. So, after using the kitchens, the rooms, but also the hotel rooms, Jade Quélin decided to follow her instinct. A year ago and tomorrow, this 27-year-old Pyrenean, settled on her account as a practitioner in well-being. At the head of the Osmose cabinet, she took up residence in Louey. Since June, in addition to classic massages, Jade Quélin has given a new face to her activity. “Through the things of life, I was made aware of cancers and chronic pain. I lost a cancer friend at only 24 years old. It deeply marked me. My father also suffered from cancer. I started to think about the well-being of patients when I realized that no specific massage existed for them,” said the practitioner. Bigourdane also suffers from endometriosis. A disease that she could only diagnose after seven years. Nothing and no one has ever been able to relieve his suffering. Apart from lengthening on your stomach and on a hot hot water bottle. Small remedy.
She is undergoing one day training, in Lyon, entitled Massages Oncology and Pain provided by LetiS, a training organization certified by Qualiopi. “I already knew how to massage. But during this training, I learned the specificities linked to pathologies,” said Jade Quélin. She claims to be the only one to benefit from this training in the Hautes-Pyrénées.
Never touch radiotherapy burns
From now on, before a massage chronic pain or oncology, it makes an anamnesis sheet fill in its customers where they provide their pathology and the treatment received (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, etc.), the side effects of treatment (edema, anxiety, nausea, etc.), the sensitive areas to avoid, the preferred position for the relaxation and the scale of pain. “I ask for medical advice from the attending physician of my client when there are stimulating cancer cells because the approach is completely different and you should not take any risks,” says Jade Quélin. Other precepts: never touch radiotherapy burns, nor recent wounds and the catheter brand.
“I adapt the technique and pressure. I never massage more than 45 minutes because endorphins are produced during the care and the fall may be brutal in patients with chronic diseases or cancer,” said the practitioner. The duration of the care is thus voluntarily narrowed. Jade Quélin mainly receives patients who suffer from endometriosis, ovary-colycystic syndrome, thyroid, lipœdème, diabetes, fibromyalgia … “When they push the cabinet door, they are exhausted, their face is closed. They complain about medical wandering, they find it difficult to recognize their pathology in long-term illness. End of care, at least, they have a smile, “observes the masseuse. In two months of specialized practice, she has already retained a dozen customers or 20 % of her total customers. The proof that there was a need.
Rules of rules: his advice for self -manner
She warns: “It is not pleasant but really effective”. To relieve his menstruation pain; Jade Quélin recommends massaging the psoas, a muscle located between the spine and the femur. “We settle on the sofa for 10 minutes, lying down, with the legs folded and applying his hands on the psoas, on each side, with circular movements, always in the direction of the needles of a watch,” she says. To complete, you can also stretch the psoas by making slits, on both sides.
