Cancer
Massage:
|
Cancer patients are special people with
special needs. Besides general relaxation, massaging a cancer
patient can decrease pain perception, nausea, fatigue, anxiety
and depression, as documented in studies such as: “Massage
Therapy for Symptom Control: Outcome Study
at a Major Cancer Center,” by Barrie R. Cassileth, Ph.D., and
Andrew J. Vickers, PH.D., of Memorial Sloan Kettering
Cancer Center in New York City, Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, September 2004, Vol. 28,
No. 3, pp. 244-249. Be certain that the massage therapist you chose has training in Medical
Massage for the Cancer Patient.
Complementary therapies, such as
massage, are not substitutes for mainstream medical care; they
are used along with traditional medical treatment to help
alleviate stress, reduce pain and anxiety, manage symptoms, and
promote a feeling of well-being. Client comment: "a little
piece of heaven", www.wickedlocal.com/newton/news/x2110142078
