We would like to respond to a recent posting to our site concerning treatment of cancer patients. We want to make it very clear that we do not deny clients with cancer, treatments here at The Day Spa. Many of our regular clients are cancer patients and cancer survivors. Massage for people with cancer is beneficial to reduce stress and tension. Because cancer can be contraindicated for massage, responsible therapists get advanced training in order to work safely on cancer patients. Responsible therapists and responsible massage organizations will ask for a physician?s note to be sure that a physician is involved. We currently do not have therapists with the advanced training required but we are in the process of getting the necessary training completed. In addition we can currently work on cancer patients with the advice of their physician and of course the awareness of the contraindications for massage and permission of the patient. This is all done out of our utmost concern for the safety and wellness of our clients. All other spa services aside from massage that we provide such as facials, tinting, waxing, facial treatments, reiki wellness and all nail therapies are fine with no contraindications and can be done safely for anyone with cancer.
