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

• 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
