BRIDGEPORT – St. Vincent's offers a "massage therapy program for oncology patients undergoing definitive active treatment and for survivors who have completed treatment," according to a statement.

 

The massage program is possible through funding from St. Vincent's SWIM Across the Sound, the statement said.

 

"Massage Therapy has been studied and has proven beneficial to cancer patients in many ways including reducing stress, promoting deep relaxation, improving sleep, and reducing fatigue and nausea.  St. Vincent's massage therapists have extensive experience working with cancer survivors," the statement said.

 

The program is by appointment only at the SWIM Integrative Survivorship Center located on the 3^rd floor of the Elizabeth Pfriem SWIM Center for Cancer Care adjacent to St. Vincent's Medical Center, the statement said.   Call 203-576-6158 for an appointment.
