Massage therapyMassage therapy can be given to people who have cancer. But, the area where tumor and treatment take place should not be massaged as it could result in discomfort when you put pressure on that affected area. The massage itself does not treat cancer, but it helps to lower the pain during treatment.

Some people believe that massage can result in spreading the cancer cells in your body through the lymphatic system which is a network of vessels, nodes and organs. Through these networks, the lymphatic fluid flows.

It is true that cancer can spread but not from massage or other movements. The changes to a cell’s DNA and other processes in the body make cancer spread. Massage therapy for soft tissue and muscles do not spread cancer cells.

Benefits Of Massage For Cancer Patients

Cancer patients who are taking treatment such as surgery or chemotherapy have shown that massage reduces the pain, nausea, fatigue, anxiety and depression. It significantly lowers the stress hormone. There are several positive results of having massage therapy gained by the people, such as improvements in:

  • Quality and quantity of sleep
  • Mental clarity and alertness
  • Body movements
  • The health of the scar tissue

The massage even improves physical symptoms.

  • Makes people feel whole again by bringing the positive energy
  • Helps them to feel relax and share feeling in an informal setting
  • One of the most important, it rebuilds hope

If you have cancer and looking for massage therapy, make sure to discuss your medical history with the professional. The massage therapist will first examine your health condition and then offer the right solution.
