Massage for Breast Cancer

Massage for Breast Cancer:

Helping in the Healing Process

During the month of October, we’re all made aware of the unfortunate fight that millions of people, mostly women, have with Breast Cancer. Did you know that studies have shown that massage can help in the healing process?

Improving Quality of Life

Massage cannot cure cancer but what massage therapy offers to breast cancer patients, and survivors is an improvement on their quality of life. One of the main advantages of massage therapy for breast cancer patients — or any patient — is that it is relaxing. Your body and your mind will be completely relaxed and stress-free after a massage. For women battling breast cancer, there is a ton of stress, anxiety and even depression. Regular massage therapy has been known to help relieve some of the stress and anxiety for cancer patients.

Pain Relief

Another benefit of massage therapy is that it helps to reduce swelling and relaxes muscles, which helps to reduce pain levels. With less pain, women fighting cancer have less stress and feel better.

Improved Sleep

Experiencing less anxiety, pain relief and less stress helps improve sleep patterns. Massage is extremely calming, something needed when healing from cancer treatments. Patients have felt that they have more energy and less fatigue after massage therapy.

Massage therapy offer patients some relief from anxiety, depression and in some cases provides pain relief. Which improves the quality of life — which is needed most during a tough battle.

If you have been diagnosed with cancer or know someone that has been ask us about incorporating Massage a part of a recovery program.

In 2014, two friends had a life experience that was unexpected and difficult – Gwen was diagnosed with breast cancer and Lee was diagnosed with lung cancer –at the same time! One evening, while sharing experiences from getting the diagnosis to bouncing back and everything in between, they realized they were grateful to be on the other side of procedures and treatments but also acknowledged some of the challenges they faced. Gwen and Lee wanted do something to help ease a little bit of the burdens of others also dealing with cancer and Grateful Friends was born!

Grateful Friends has created Comfort Baskets brimming with supplies aimed at providing some comfort and a little bit of fun for patients receiving chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy . During the Month of October, Body & Soul Massage will donate 10% of Gift Certificate Sales to the Grateful Friends Comfort Basket Program.
