Complementary Therapies
“It’s so rewarding to see people’s anxiety and tension just melt away, and to hear how they feel so much better after their treatment.”
Barbara Burden, complementary therapist
Complementary therapies are used alongside orthodox treatments to help with symptom control through psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual support. It is not a curative intervention.
All patients are assessed individually by a qualified therapist for the appropriateness of the therapies we offer.
Available therapies include aromatherapy, Indian head massage, reflexology, reiki, relaxation techniques and massage therapy.
Some of the benefits which may be experienced include an improved sense of well-being, sense of relaxation, reduced sence of anxiety, enhanced quality of life, time out, improved coping mechanism and feeling cared for.
From relieving stress and headaches to helping with pain control and insomnia, they add a holistic dimension to the programme of care we offer at the hospice for inpatients, out patients and the Woods Centre patients
We also offer this service to support those carers who may forget that their own sense of well-being is just as important when providing care for their loved ones.
