Pain may result from treatment methods such as chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery, or from cancer growth itself. Our services provide supportive care for cancer patients to help manage pain and improve quality of life through gentle, nurturing massage techniques like myofascial release. Recent studies show massage therapy can be an important part of an integrative approach to care for cancer patients, offering benefits such as reducing pain, alleviating stress, relieving nausea, reducing depression and anxiety, improving sleep and lessening fatigue, and preventing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Massage therapy can significantly boost the health-related quality of life for cancer patients and is recommended or supported for consideration by the American College of Physicians, The Joint Commission, and the Federation of State Medical Boards.
