Reflexology is one of the most popular types of complementary therapy in the UK among people with cancer (Cancer Research UK).  Reflexology for cancer may be able to help with a range of ailments, including the reduction of stress, tension and anxiety, stimulation of the lymphatic system, increasing circulation, increased energy and pain management. As it’s a non-invasive form of therapy, it’s an alternative to traditional massage for those who prefer to avoid full-body touch. And as there is no undressing or repositioning required, it can be ideal for those who are very sick, who can’t be moved during treatment or touched in certain places. It could also help to reduce nausea caused by chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Overall, reflexology is thought to be very helpful for anybody on a cancer journey. It can help to improve a person’s quality of life, whilst creating and sustaining an overall sense of wellbeing, which is pivotal for anybody on a healing journey (Together Against Cancer).

 

I have a comfortable wide massage table with extra pillows and blankets in case you feel the cold. When booking an Aroma-reflexology treatment, I use Songbird 'Zest' reflexology wax which was developed for the Iris Cancer partnership, and is a blend of mandarin and lime essential oils.

Reiki is a type of energy healing and is a complementary therapy. It is sometimes used as a palliative or supportive therapy for people with cancer. 

​

Some people with cancer may use reiki alongside their treatment, as a complementary therapy. Reiki practitioners say that it can:

• help you to feel deeply relaxed

• help you cope with difficult situations

• relieve emotional stress and tension

• help to improve wellbeing

Some people with cancer say they feel more relaxed after using therapies such as reiki. Studies suggest that this is often because a therapist spends time with the person. Gentle touch in a calm setting can be relaxing. Although reiki might help you feel more relaxed and able to cope, it’s important to bear in mind reiki is not able to treat your cancer.

NB: My professional code of conduct does not permit me to diagnose, prescribe or claim to cure. Reflexology works on an individual basis, and it is not possible to know in advance how you or your body will respond. The only way to find out is to try it and see. Just one treatment should help you decide whether it will be of benefit to you but it does have an accumulative effect. Reflexology should not be used instead of conventional medical care. Always consult your GP or other health professional for medical attention and advice.
