Benefits of Hospice Massage
Dealing with a terminal illness can be emotionally overwhelming, both for the client and for their loved ones. Ideally, hospice massage therapy can help bring a sense of peace and calm while reducing anxiety. The benefits of palliative massage include:
- Calming the autonomic nervous system and reducing anxiety
- Alleviating soreness and relaxing stiff muscles
- Helping mitigate the side effects of medications
- Helping the client enter a state of deep relaxation
- Reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation
- Improving circulation
- Decreasing nausea
- Facilitating restful sleep Some practitioners may also offer massage therapy services to the loved ones of someone in hospice care. Recognizing that caregiving can take a physical and emotional toll on the body, offering massage therapy to these individuals can help improve their mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
