http://www.greettheday.org/spa Greet The Day oncology massage and skin care therapists work in spa, private practice and hospitals, and are part of the interprofessional patient care team in in and outpatient clinical settings.

An oncologytrained massage therapist or esthetician knows how to safely modify and adapt their service delivery to accommodate for the shortterm, longterm and late effects of cancer treatments.

Massage helps cancer patients cope better with the side effects of cancer treatment. Patients with cancer commonly experience disease or treatment side effects including pain, fatigue, neuropathy, nausea, and anxiety. Often recommended as a nonpharmacological adjunct for pain management, safe massage for people with cancer is a noninvasive method that can decrease many of these common side effects, and provide comfort while a patient is undergoing treatment.

Greet The Day is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization improving quality of life for people affected by cancer through education and integrative oncology care.
