Massage can Help Patients Being Treated for Cancer

One benefit of massage is that it brings a feeling of well-being and relaxation which can help with the stress, anxiety or even depression associated with dealing with cancer treatment. Massage increases the body’s production of endorphins which elevate mood and flushes the waste product, lactic acid, out of muscles.

Massage also relieves pain and stiffness, increases mobility and reduces pain.

The National Cancer Institute found that more than half of their cancer centers offer massage as an adjunct to traditional treatment especially for those patients who suffer from fatigue.

A Day to Remember

June 7th is National Cancer Survivors Day.

Commit to a Regular Bed Time

Lack of sleep has been linked to many disease processes.

The most common cause of sleeplessness is a lack of a sleep-healthy routine.
Set a time that you want to be asleep. An hour before your sleep time, turn of all electronics.

Getting rid of the LED lights and stimulus will help you wind down.

Read a good book. Take a warm bath. Be alone with your thoughts.
