Cancer patients can benefit greatly from highly individualised massage. Not only can it help reduce their anxiety and improve their psychological well-being. It can also help with pain management.

The diagnosis of cancer and dealing with your own emotions in response to this is overwhelming. Firstly, patients are hit with a barrage of information, tests, appointments and treatment plans. Consequently, all of this is usually rather daunting and stressful. Then, as a result, the first trip to the chemotherapy unit is often a frightening, overwhelming experience. Andrea provides foot massages to patients while they are receiving chemotherapy. This helps to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety.
