Complementary Therapies
Gwent Cancer Support offers a free complementary therapy service of Reflexology, Indian Head Massage and Healing, at County Hospital, Griffithstown to cancer patients and their carers.
Reflexology
The feet are a map of the body, with meridian lines of energy, connecting the feet to all parts of the body. Very relaxing effective for de-stressing and for general healing and balancing body systems.
Indian Head Massage
Massage of the upper back, shoulders, neck, scalp and face, with or without oil.. Very de-stressing and uplifting. It can help release emotional blockages.
Healing
The channelling of universal healing energy to affect the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. You don't need faith or a religious belief to benefit - just an open enough mind to try it!
Again, very relaxing and calming and can be used to help all conditions.
