Our Time Out drop-in complementary therapy groups are for anyone affected by cancer - patients, their carers and families.
Enjoy a complementary therapy in a calm, relaxing atmosphere, and chat to other patients and carers over a cup of tea. No need to book, just turn up!
Complementary therapies can offer relief from the emotional and physical symptoms that cancer can have on the body. Complementary therapies work with the person as a whole, not just the part of the body with cancer. This is called a holistic approach, treating the whole person on a physical and emotional level. Coping with Cancer has a team of therapists who are experienced in treating those affected by cancer and are able to offer an extensive range of therapies.
Treatments last between 20 and 45 minutes depending on the therapy. Afterwards, you may feel anything from sleepy to energised. We recommend that you drink plenty of water an take time to come round, especially if you are driving home. Therapies available include aromatherapy massage, reflexology, Indian head massage and reiki.
