complementary therapies
right to your home.
If your goal is to encourage good health
and wellness—both physical and
emotional—Montefiore Home Care can
help. Our complementary therapies
program now offers Reiki and relaxation
massage right in your own home!
What are
complementary
therapies?
Complementary therapies—such as Reiki
and relaxation massage—work in tandem
with traditional medicine to provide a
holistic approach to wellness. They do not
replace traditional medicine, but complement
the healing process.
Because your physical, emotional and
spiritual aspects integrate, it is crucial to
keep them all balanced. If one of those
aspects is out of line, the other aspects will
be affected.
The mind-body connection is strong. By
taking advantage of complementary
therapies, you can increase your energy,
enjoy greater enthusiasm, and experience
an enhanced sense of well-being!
What
is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced RAY-kee) is a natural healing
technique that uses the laying on of hands to aid in healing
illnesses of body, mind, and spirit.
Reiki can help people with numerous illnesses and conditions,
such as cancer, heart disease, chronic pain, arthritis, hyperactivity,
sleep disorders and stress, to name but a few. Reiki is also
used to help prevent illness.
How
does Reiki work?
A light, hands-on process allows the Reiki practitioner to
transfer universal life force energy to the
recipient. Reiki is given fully clothed and in any
setting. A treatment can last anywhere from 15
minutes to an hour.

What
is massage therapy?

enhancing restful sleep. Therapists trained in
clinical massage use specific body work
procedures that can help relieve musculoskeletal
problems.
