Support of Cancer Patients with Shiatsu
F***y Roque is currently President of the French Federation of Traditional Shiatsu (FFST)
Having worked for many years treating people with cancer, F***y has now started a special training course for Shiatsu practitioners wishing to do likewise.
The emphasis is on practice and above all how to reduce the side effects of treatment in an effective way at each stage of the medical treatment.
La Ligue Contre le Cancer and the Institut du Sein d’Aquitaine selected fifteen people with breast, stomach or blood cancer, and invited them to receive Shiatsu.
After taking a specific and detailed medical history, Shiatsu practitioners explained what Shiatsu during cancer is and then gave a treatment. Afterwards, the practitioners showed points for self-stimulation during and after chemotherapy.
It turns out that even a single Shiatsu session can have a considerable effect on the reduction of chemotherapy-related symptoms: after these sessions, the participants showed immediate improvement in back pain, significant emotional relaxation and a reduction in side effects associated with chemotherapy.
