Oswestry Cancer Buddies hear about Reflexology in Oncology Treatment
This week attendees had a talk by Kerry Coppen from ‘At Rahanni Reflex’, based in Oswestry.
Kerry offers reflexology as a gentle, complementary therapy for those seeking additional support alongside medical treatment. Across the UK, many cancer centers, out-patient units and hospices provide similar services.
Kerry told Oswestry Cancer Buddies, ‘Reflexology can help lift your mood, reduce stress, promote relaxation and ease fatigue—benefits that are especially valuable for anyone navigating the physical and emotional demands of cancer treatment.’
A 2009 review found that reflexology was offered in 62% of NHS cancer units as a supportive therapy. The studies reported high patient satisfaction and no significant safety concerns or adverse events, underscoring reflexology’s reputation as a safe, calming option for people receiving cancer care.
