Clinical Massage Therapy

There are multiple benefits of clinical massage therapy:

• Decrease of pain and anxiety
• Increase of endorphins (feel-good hormones) in the brain
• Decreased insomnia, muscle spasms and tension headaches
• Increased sense of well being and relaxation

Massage benefits shown by research for oncology patients include:

• Profound decrease in pain and anxiety
• Decreased
  • nausea,
  • insomnia,
  • depression and
  • "pins & needles" feeling in hands and feet

Equally important: massage can help the patient reconnect to her/his body and achieve an overall sense of well-being.
