Comfort to patients above and beyond what their team provides
In addition to the team patient-care services of Providence Hospice of Seattle, our Complementary Therapy Program offers something more. At any point in treatment, patients and their families or caregivers can request visits by our experienced Complementary Therapists to provide a wide variety of alternative special services including:
Massage Therapy
Our massage therapists are trained in many forms of massage depending on the needs of the patient.
Swedish Massage Therapists can promote relaxation and release muscular tension.
Reflexology Therapists apply gentle pressure and movement to the feet and hands to reduce stress and ease anxiety.
Reiki (Energy Work) Therapists administer non-invasive hands-on touch to help produce feelings of peace and well-being and to help reduce stress.
Aromatherapists use pleasant smelling botanical oils such as lavender or lemon to help alleviate tension and fatigue and invigorate the body.
Craniosacral Therapists use soft touch along specific points of the cranium to help ease pain, and improve comfort and well-being.
Music
Specially trained and experienced harpists, vocalists and guitarists can tailor their music to the culture of the patient and help the patient ease into a restful state.
Hypnotherapy (Guided Imagery)
The purpose of hypnotherapy is to promote positive feelings through relaxation with a certified hypnotherapist who will help with guided imagery, relaxation techniques, and deep breathing.
Meditation
Mindful breathing and meditation can help relaxation, help still the mind, and instill a sense of clarity and well-being.
Our Complementary Therapists can also teach caregivers to learn exercises and techniques to help relieve stress and anxiety and pain in between sessions. For more information on our Complementary Therapy Program, please call 206-389-4320.
