Reiki Massage has become increasing popular but many people are still unaware of this therapeutic practice.
A therapist’s hands are placed gently on or above the body, in 12 to 15 different positions, and held for 2-5 minutes. Reiki is commonly used in integrative medicine focusing on healing physical and emotional symptoms through therapeutic touch. Reiki practitioners claim by improving the patient’s flow of life energy, it will ultimately lead to an improvement in healing, reduction in pain, and decrease in muscle tension.
Reiki massage, unlike deep tissue massage, is gentle enough for cancer patients undergoing treatment. It is important that all patients consult their oncologist or healthcare provider before starting or undergoing any complementary therapy. Reiki originated in the 1900s in Japan and has been used as a stress reduction and relaxation technique that promotes healing.
The belief is that the therapist uses light touch to channel life energy to the patient, resulting in an activation of the patient’s own healing process to restore their physical and emotional well-being.
This complementary therapy is used in conjunction with mainstream cancer treatment and is said to alleviate common side effects of chemotherapy, such as fatigue, nausea, anxiety and pain. Reiki is a safe and non-invasive healing technique that can potentially be beneficial in relieving some of the lingering ailments associated with cancer related treatments.
