Oncology and shiatsu practice

A particularity of shiatsu is that it is suitable for every type of person and situation, so that it is increasingly used for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy for the treatment of tumors of various kinds.

Research, testimonies and direct practices in the field have demonstrated the effectiveness of shiatsu treatment in patients undergoing chemotherapy, aiding in better tolerating the therapy and alleviating or even avoiding side effects typical of this type of procedures such as nausea, gastric problems, fatigue and much other.

Shiatsu also stimulates the power of self-healing and regeneration of the body, thus allowing patients to get back on track even faster, and have more energy between a session of chemotherapy and the other.

All this without forgetting the emotional and relaxing aspect that shiatsu treatments can have, useful in this context to survive the heavy periods of stress, shock, anxiety and fear that are typically faced by patients who receive diagnosis of this kind.

To date, many patients rely on shiatsu as a complementary “therapy” as an aid to the normal medical procedures, often finding the support of doctors and oncologists.
