Can Massage Therapy Improve Life with Metastatic Cancer?

Can a simple massage make a difference for people living with metastatic cancer?

Metastatic cancer sis cancer that spreads beyond the place where it started to other areas of your body; and nearly all cancers have the potential to metastasize.

A randomized clinical trial found that massage therapy provided short-term benefits for patients with metastatic cancer.

Participants reported improved quality of life, reduced pain, and lower anxiety, with the greatest improvements seen during the first week after treatment.

While massage is not a treatment for cancer, it may be a valuable complementary therapy to help manage symptoms and improve comfort during care.

And, as a massage therapist, you must protect yourself; only the best massage therapist insurance coverage will do!

The American Massage Council offers the most affordable and reliable professional liability insurance for massage therapy coverage and more.
