Did you know that massage therapy can help alleviate pain that patients with cancer have? The therapeutic touch of massage can alleviate this pain whether it is from the disease itself or from the treatments which can be quite invasive. According to the American Cancer Society, the following statistics are available: Approximately 76 million Americans who are now living will eventually get cancer; one in three at the present rate. In the US, one woman in nine will get breast cancer. Cancer kills more children in the one to fourteen age bracket than any other disease. One out of every five deaths in the U.S. will be from cancer. As you can see from just a few of the statistics mentioned above, cancer is a very prevalent disease. What can be done to help diminish the pain and suffering? A good means may be massage. What is better than therapeutic touch for headaches, tight muscles, releasing stress, and a myriad of other causes? How can a health practitioner help someone in pain have less discomfort? Massage therapy is one answer. Massage therapy can enhance the quality of life of a person living with cancer by alleviating much of the pain and stress for that person. Are you or do you know of anyone who has a life threatening illness, who is in pain, and maybe doesn't want to take more medicine to deal with the pain? Massage can be the answer. Massage can relieve pain, promote healing, release toxins from the body, and in general encourages a feeling of well-being.
