Seeking Free or Low Cost Massage and other Treatments in NYC

Anonymous

Hi,

I am done with chemo and in the midsts of radiation but I need a treat/ment...I am especailly seeking Massage opportunities.  I am familiar with one offering in NYC but it happens on Sundays and that is a real challenge for me.  Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

You can try the Integrative Medicine dept at memorial sloan kettering. I also just got an email from this lady who is a survivor. She was advertising her services. The website is prettyleafintergrativetherapy.com

I agree--check with the cancer centers.  They sometimes often offer support services even if you're not being treated there.

Hi, The JCC on West 76th and Amst gives really inexpensive Reikki sessions the first Thursday each month. I met the woman  who started Prettyleaf Intergrative Therapy at the JCC Reikki clinic and she is really wonderful. You would be in great hands. (no pun intended). Exhale spa also offers Yin Yoga which I did throughout my treatment. It was WONDERFUL. Felt better than a massage and you learn things you can do at home. Mt Sinai (where I was treated) has sessions for all women who have had or have BC in meditation and such.

Hope you find something that works.

Hi VVH,

In addition to the helpful advice from the other members here, you may wish to check out the main Breastcancer.org site's page on Massage. It has links to finding a certified massage therapist in your area -- you may be able to reach out to see if any offer free or discounted services.

Hope this helps!
