Therapeutic Massage Chico Massage Pro

A highly qualified massage therapist with advanced training in Oncology Massage and Massage for the Seriously Ill can have profound effects in the lives of cancer patients and their caregivers. The techniques used during massage for patients with cancer or any other serious illness are more gentle, calming, and comfort oriented than traditional massage techniques with special care given to design a personalized massage routine that addresses the specific health issues and treatment history of each client.

 

Until recently, massage was considered to be a contraindication for persons with cancer. This is because massage effects the blood and lymph circulation. However, due to many in depth studies on the effects of massage during cancer treatment and pioneering efforts by experts such as Debra Curties andGayle MacDonald, massage is currently being promoted as an invaluable tool for easing the symptoms of cancer, other serious illnesses and their treatment and improving the quality of life for cancer patients and their caregivers.

 

Benefits to persons with cancer include; pain relief, nausea reduction, digestive improvement, stress relief, and relaxation. Oncology massage improves lymph movement and reduces edema. Massage also boosts the healing process, promotes health, and generates feelings of peace and well-being during what is otherwise a very stressful and trying period for both cancer patients and their caregivers.
