Main Benefits of Hospice Massage Therapy
A hospice is designed to offer support and comfort to the dying. Massage therapy can be one aspect of this support and comfort.The benefits of qingdao massage therapy include the general benefits of massage available to everyone: relaxing tight muscles, reducing joint stiffness, reducing anxiety and improving circulation.
People who are not mobile are susceptible to skin ulcerations called pressure (bed) sores from continual contact with a mattress. Massage can help stimulate circulation in susceptible areas and help prevent pressure sores.According to massage qingdao therapist Dawn Nelson, massage helps some hospice patients manage stress and can lessen pain, sometimes reducing the need for pain medications.
Touch is often comforting and nurturing for people who are approaching death, especially if they have little social contact with others.According to Nelson, most hospice patients reach a point where  massage in qingdao is no longer desired, tolerated or appropriate, yet maintaining contact is essential.
