5 May, 2023


In this 4-minute video, Dongyan Yu, MS, MS, LicAc, demonstrates simple and self-guided acupressure techniques that may help improve cancer-related fatigue. Although more research is needed, acupressure has demonstrated a short-term effectiveness in alleviating cancer-related fatigue, particularly for patients undergoing chemotherapy. 

Remember, it’s important to speak with your cancer care team to report any side effects and concerns to create a treatment plan that works for you.
