(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 25, 2012 ) Delray Beach, FL -- A Massage therapy school expert at Massage-Therapy-Schools.ws says that there is an integral role in medicine for massage therapists. More doctors are looking to holistic treatments to reduce side-effects, patient discomfort, and unintended consequences. Lewis Bauer says that the value of massage therapy in the course of treating cancer is well-documented and supported by leading government science organizations.
“The National Cancer Institute and others are being more vocal about the real medical benefits of massage therapy,” says Bauer, “Massage does more than relax muscle tension; it is part of the healing arts for a reason: it can improve the entire body system when done properly and at the right moments in a patient’s treatment program.”
The National Cancer Institute publishes information on cancer treatments, clinical trials, and alternative therapies in the U.S. and says that massage is a viable method for pain relief in cancer patients. According to the NCI, “Massage therapy has been studied as part of supportive care in managing cancer-related pain. Massage may help improve relaxation and benefit mood. Preclinical and clinical trials show that massage therapy may stimulate the release of endorphins (substances that relieve pain and give a feeling of well-being), increase the flow of blood and lymphatic fluid, strengthen the effects of pain medications, decrease inflammation and edema, and lower pain caused by muscle spasms and tension.”
In a recent article on oncology in massage school programs, Bauer says that in order to become a massage therapist that specializes in oncology, students must first learn the basics and complete courses in a general massage therapy program. “Many of the country’s oncology massage programs require students to first earn licensure or be considered a Certified Massage Therapist in their state of practice before a student will be accepted into their school’s program,” writes Bauer.
