Cancer is a disease that has unfortunately affected almost everyone, directly or indirectly in some way. It can often have very unpleasant symptoms, and unfortunately, the treatment can have very harsh side effects as well. Many cancer fighters experience pain, nausea, anxiety, and fatigue among other things.
It is so important, when undergoing treatment and even afterwards, to focus on mental well-being just as much as the physical well-being. The spa experience is unique in offering a place where one can completely relax and renew, while being treated with the utmost love and compassion.
Massage therapy is a wonderful way of releasing tension stored in the body. At Touch to Heal Spa, we offer a range of massages, each of which provide different healing properties. Certain massages are wonderful for soothing aching muscles and relieving pain, while others may alleviate inflammation, or help regulate sleep and emotions. Our massage therapists are skilled in all of the massages offered, and are always willing to help you choose or customize your experience based on your needs.
Many cancer survivors also find comfort in receiving facials. Oftentimes, the harsh chemicals from chemotherapy and radiation can dry out the skin. Facial massages from a skilled professional can help restore the health and glow of the skin. The benefits are not only cosmetic, as facials also can release tension that is often held in the face and jaw, easing headaches and helping with relaxation.
For anyone fighting cancer who is concerned about receiving spa treatments, it is always recommended to talk to an oncologist about whether certain adjustments should be made, or certain procedures should be avoided. By letting our staff know about specific needs and concerns, we can work together to create the most relaxing spa experience possible.
