October Focus - Cancer and Massage Therapy

Roughly 1.8 million people will be diagnosed with cancer in the United States in the coming year, but the good news is, approximately two-thirds of those diagnosed will survive. Traditional treatments like surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy have had great success, but sometimes with crippling side effects that make the disease even more physically and emotionally taxing.

New research is helping health care professionals and patients alike understand the role massage therapy plays in integrative care plan. From providing stress relief to helping patients better handle symptoms such as pain and side effects like nausea, massage therapy can make an important difference for cancer patients.
