The benefits of this gentle technique are endless, for both the giver and the receiver.
The goal of Palliative Bodywork is not to “fix”, “change” or “heal” the client but instead, helps promote comfort, relaxation and relief of common end of life symptoms including pain, anxiety, spiritual distress, and isolation.

Skilled Palliative Bodywork Practitioners also help provide touch education to family caregivers. Oftentimes family members are fearful of touching a dying loved one in fear of hurting them.
