Hand & Arm Self-Massage for Neuropathy

6 Dec, 2022


In this 10-minute video, Bambi P. Mathay, LMT, BCTMB, RMT, demonstrates a self-guided massage that may help reduce symptoms of neuropathy in the arms and hands. Zakim Center massage appointments are available for Dana-Farber patients. To schedule, please call 617-632-3322. 

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is a common side effect of cancer treatment. The techniques employed in this video may help alleviate symptoms, but there is no clear treatment for neuropathy that will improve nerve damage. It is important to speak with your cancer care team to report any concerns and create a treatment plan that works for you.

This video has been produced by the Leonard P. Zakim Center for Integrative Therapies and Healthy Living and is part of a comprehensive Neuropathy Toolkit.
