A nurturing body work session is a way to relax and to connect to the body and to the spirit. As tension leaves the body, the active mind is quieted and a sense of physical, emotional and spiritual well-being has an opportunity to develop. Each session is created by you and your Certified Massage Therapist to meet your needs.
Massage serves as a source of both physical and psychological connection and comfort. It is particularly beneficial to patients who are experiencing fear, anger and sadness over their diagnosis and resulting treatment. The intention of massage therapy during cancer treatment is to:
- Relieve physical discomforts
- Reduce fatigue
- Lessen stress, anxiety and depression
- Balance the energy in and around the body
- Increase sensory, emotional and spiritual awareness
- Promote the body and being’s healing
- Strengthen communication and connection between body and spirit
- Decrease feelings of isolation
- Increase flexibility and range of motion after surgery
If you are dealing with stress or you are simply wishing to participate actively in creating your own health and harmony, massage therapy may add a much-needed chance to reconnect to your own sense of well-being. Touch goes beyond the body to our heart, mind and soul.
