Cancer Care – Light Touch Therapy

What is Light Touch Therapy?

Massage can be beneficial at nearly every stage of your cancer experience – during hospitalization, prior to or after surgery, during chemotherapy or radiation, while recovering at home, during remission, or at the end stages of life.

The benefits of massage during treatment can be significant.  It can reduce short-term pain, anxiety, fatigue and feelings of isolation. It can enhance your mood, contributing to better rest and an improved perception of your treatment.

Studies have shown that massage can help reduce pain, nausea, fatigue, anxiety and depression.  It can restore a feeling of wholeness to your body and increase the range of motion and suppleness of areas affected by surgery and radiation.
