Think of complementary therapies as your holistic helpers. They include treatments like massage, reflexology, aromatherapy and reiki and there are many more such as meditation, acupuncture, and herbal remedies. These treatments or therapies are called “complementary” because they work alongside your regular doctor’s visits and prescriptions, not instead of them.
How Do They Help?
- Taking Care of the Whole You: Complementary therapies are Holistic which means they treat and look at your health as a whole package – body, mind, and spirit. They’re not just about fixing one problem; they’re about making sure everything’s running smoothly.
- Extra Care: When you’re going through tough medical treatments like chemo or recovering from surgery, complementary therapies can step in to help manage pain, fatigue, ease stress, and boost your mood.
- Keeping Trouble at Bay: Treatments such as massage, and reflexology therapies are all about prevention too. Massage and reflexology can help you manage stress and fatigue which can really help when you feel tired and run down.
- Feeling Good Inside and Out: Ever had a massage that left you feeling like you’re walking on air? That’s the kind of magic complementary therapies bring. They can make you feel better physically, mentally, and emotionally.
- Tailored to You: Everyone’s different, and complementary therapies are too. They’re all about giving you options that fit your individual needs and can give you the tools to manage your wellbeing.
