In 2009 the Foundation funded a complementary therapy service aimed at improving children’s general physical and emotional well-being and helping alleviate symptoms of their condition and treatment. Patients are now able to receive up to eight treatments from a choice of three therapies; Massage, Therapeutic, Reflexology. The treatments will benefit children and parents in a number of ways including reduced stress and anxiety, improved ability to cope with pain and enhanced focus and clarity of mind. The Foundation has enabled four therapists to undertake approximately 25 treatments per week or 650 treatments in total over a 6 month period.
