cancer carers help in lancashire

Important things to remember!!

Use only Qualified people and a recognised trade association member**
Ensure the therapist is fully insured
If the therapist is properly qualified, a full medical history should always be taken prior to any therapy.
If your patient is going to receive therapy, ALWAYS check with your GP or hospital consultant first
Complimentary therapy CANNOT cure cancer, but has been proved to help with relaxation and increase well-being
Don't be confused about Alternative therapy, this type of treatment or process is used as an alternative to cancer treatment.(It remains unproven, and we cannot comment on its merits)

Please contact us if you require details of your nearest therapist or center. Lots of carers drop in venues offer free therapies to carers and cancer patients. If your going private please do check the therapist from a reputable source or friends or relatives that can give you some feedback on the services offered. We have our own in house therapists who can offer various types of therapy and are all qualified by National or International Vocational Institutions.

**You don't need a formal qualification to provide therapy! A foot massage for example is not the same as having reflexology. Their are many other therapy's we have not listed here as the list would be to long. Many of these therapy's are recognised by the NHS/Hospices etc so if in doubt ask about them at a carers drop in.
