What You Should Know About Massage Therapy for Terminal Cancer Patients
Loved ones and patients with terminal cancer have precious few months, weeks or days remaining with us. In some cases it may be appropriate to have an in-home massage which can, even if it’s not for long, increase quality of life for cancer patients. Can it extend their life? It’s possible. Or can it help them to relax and let go. It all depends, but what’s certain is that Body Well’s caring, experienced, licensed and insured massage therapists will do their best to help in this difficult circumstance.
We offer in-home massages that are completely flexible to fit around your schedule. Being in your own home is often the most comfortable option, and we want the entire experience to be as relaxing as possible.
Why a Massage with Terminal Cancer?
While it isn’t curable, therapeutic massage has been shown with some people to improve certain symptoms. Most treatment for this condition focuses on making the person as comfortable as possible during their final times.
Why Get An In-Home Massage?
There are a wide variety of benefits to having an in-home massage for terminal cancer patients.
One of these is that research has shown it can reduce some of the symptoms that they may be experiencing such as nausea, pain, anxiety, depression, fatigue and many others.
Giving them this treatment could allow them to feel much better than they have in a while, and bring them new levels of happiness. When they are feeling better, your loved one may be able to engage more, and participate in activities that they thought they could no longer do.
Another benefit is that massages have been linked with other improvements in their day to day lives. Some of these include sleep, mental clarity, the range of movements that they can complete and so on.
Heightened awareness could potentially make the time they have left with family a lot more enjoyable and meaningful.
What Should You Expect?
We will work with you to find a good match – a massage therapist with experience and the skills and personality to take good care of the patient. If there is a specific therapist that you would like, request them and we can arrange this service for you.
How things go on-site partly depends on whether or not the cancer patient is mobile enough to get onto a massage table. Frankly, in most cases it’s more feasible to perform the massage on the bed (hospital beds are even better for There needs to be room for a 6ft massage bench to go in the room of your choice, so try to ensure that this space has been made prior to the appointment. Once your therapist arrives, you will be asked to lay on the bed where they will proceed to find the areas that need the most attention.
The massage will typically last for around an hour, unless some other length of time has been specified by the client. You can book these sessions weekly to ensure that you are getting the maximum benefits.
