The role of a hospice massage therapist is to be a healing and calming presence. A massage session can simply provide a space for the client to relax while processing their emotions and experience. Hospice massage can ease physical discomforts, as well as enhance the client's quality of life in a palliative care setting.

Benefits Of Hospice Massage

Dealing with a terminal illness can be emotionally overwhelming, both for the client and for their loved ones. Ideally, hospice massage therapy can help bring a sense of peace and calm while reducing anxiety. The benefits of palliative massage include:

• Calming the autonomic nervous system and reducing anxiety
• Alleviating soreness and relaxing stiff muscles
• Helping mitigate the side effects of medications
• Helping the client enter a state of deep relaxation
• Reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation
• Improving circulation
• Decreasing nausea
• Facilitating restful sleep
  
  

Some practitioners may also offer massage therapy services to the loved ones of someone in hospice care. Recognizing that caregiving can take a physical and emotional toll on the body, offering massage therapy to these individuals can help improve their mental, physical, and emotional well-being.

Requirements

• Valid Massage Therapy License.
• CPR Certification
