The Swedish massage is the most popular treatment for cancer patients as it offers long, relaxing strokes down the body which combat the nausea and also offers the additional benefit of anxiety and stress relief. A massage is simple but hugely effective as it allows the clients to unwind and their brain to shut off for an hour. The fully qualified therapist performs expert techniques designed to relax and calm the clients. A classic slow back massage is also beneficial as it uses gentle strokes which can reduce the side effects of chemotherapy.
