Medical Massage for the Cancer Patient

Massage has been proven to be a great adjunct to cancer treatment. It not only eases the pain of having cancer, it can make the treatments, chemotherapy, radiation and surgery more bearable. It can improve the quality of life for the patient and the patient's family. Of course, there are concerns. Cancer and cancer treatments create added challenges for the massage therapist. Obviously you'd like to find one you can trust. I am certified in medical massage specific to cancer patients by Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center a world leader in cancer research and treatment.

If you have cancer, never begin a massage treatment program without first consulting your doctor. While you're at it, ask him about the benefits of massage for cancer patients.
