For people with cancer and/or those who undergo cancer
treatment, massage has a way to provide a soothing and relaxing experience.
Pain, fatigue, nausea, depression and anxiety are the 5 major symptoms related
to cancer and its treatments. Moreover, cancer treatments may also trigger
insomnia and digestive problems. These symptoms and its severity can be managed
and reduced through the application of the various therapeutic massage
techniques. Numerous studies have shown that a simple hands-on massage
technique can lessen the severity of symptoms and side effects of cancer and its
treatments by as much as one half. In addition, massage therapy can also
provide caring and nurturing touch to cancer patients which can be viewed as a
positive approach to combat the physiologic and psychologic effect of invasive
medical treatments and to combat the illness itself.
It is recommended to book amassage therapy treatment especially to patients in an acute stage of cancer and/or to those who undergo cancer treatments as confirmed by their physician that massage is safe in their condition.
