Hospice Massage Therapy |
Massage can provide comfort and relaxation for hospice patients; delivering much-welcomed physical and psychological relief from the ravages of their disease.
Physical benefits include the easing of muscle tension and improved circulation. Improved circulation has secondary benefits such as aiding with digestion, promoting easier breathing, providing a temporary enhancement of mental clarity, and encouraging a more restful sleep.
Pain management is an important benefit. Massage's proven effectiveness for reduction of pain can even diminish the need for prescription painkillers. Other positive responses to massage include a decrease in emotional distress, anxiety, physical discomfort, pain and nausea.
The gentle, caring touch of a massage provides a compassionate method of care to a terminally ill patient and emotional comfort for family members as they are aware of the relief it provides their loved one.
Community Health Professionals' Hospice has licensed massage therapists on staff to provide soothing comfort to patients. Massage is also available to the public through
private practice
