Massage therapy can be relaxing and comforting for all ages, but hospice patients in particular can benefit immensely from this form of therapy that has been proven to provide significant improvement for pain, anxiety and health-related quality of life for those who need to manage their pain, according to the American Massage Therapy Association.

Benefits of Massage Therapy in Hospice

Massage therapy is a nurturing part of the dying experience, for many reasons, including the following:

  • Dying is part of living: Those fighting for their lives in hospice for weeks and months know how taxing the battle is. The treatments and medications designed to relieve pain can be somewhat effective, but can also place additional strain on the body. Hospice massage acts as a natural treatment that can help patients get peace, points out Massage Magazine.

  • Touch is a universal language: Full-blown massage treatments may no longer be possible at the very end of life when the patient is in a fragile state. However, even at this stage, there’s something called attentive touch that can ease discomfort wherever it is needed. This may take the form of a gentle foot massage or scalp massage, for example. Whatever the case may be, attentive touch can reduce stress and anxiety, allowing the patient to relax fully.

  • A healing presence: The ability to just be present for the patient is the goal of hospice massage therapists, serving as anchors for family members and other caregivers through undivided attention met with a transformative response of calm and trust.

  • Stability: The physical benefits from touch include stabilized heart rate, lower blood pressure, endorphin release, a feeling of being cared for, and eased depression, fear and anxiety.
