Cancer is not just one disease but many diseases. The abnormal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues.
When we hear the word “cancer” it evokes a number of immediate reactions from us….

Reflexology is used as a complementary holistic treatment that treats the whole person, facilitating relaxation and relieving stress. Touch can have a profound effect in so many ways; mentally, physically, emotionally & spiritually. By treating the hands or feet, connecting with the patient can allow a sense of balance and calmness to take place.

There is no evidence to show that therapies cause the spread of metastases through the lymphatic & circulatory system. Reflexology will not interfere with the chemotherapy treatment. Neither will it have an adverse effect upon the patient receiving chemotherapy or make it less effective.

Reflexology for a client who is receiving treatment for cancer can offer many benefits i.e improves sleep patterns, reduces stress & anxiety and promotes deep relaxation.
