Massage Therapy

Gentle Support,

for comfort and peace

At Grace Hospice, our comfort therapy services are designed to bring peace, comfort, and relief to patients during their end-of-life journey. Traditional massage for wellness or sports recovery is very different from massage in hospice care. Our licensed therapists use a gentle, intentional approach that helps replace anxiety, pain, and fear with calm and comfort.

Massage for hospice patients focuses on improving quality of life. It is not about deep tissue manipulation or muscle conditioning. Instead, it is a nurturing experience that:

• Soothes physical discomfort
• Eases emotional stress
• Promotes relaxation and a sense of well-being

Many patients find that just a few minutes of gentle touch can make a meaningful difference in how they feel, helping to restore emotional balance and comfort.

What to Expect

When you or your loved one receives hospice massage therapy, our therapists:

• Work in coordination with your hospice care team
• Respect patient comfort levels and boundaries
• Adapt their touch to patient needs and preferences
• Create a safe, peaceful environment

Every session is tailored to support comfort and ease, whether the goal is to decrease pain, relieve tension, or simply provide a warm connection during a difficult time.

Other Comfort Therapies Available

In addition to hospice-specific massage, patients at Grace Hospice can choose from several comfort-oriented therapies that support emotional and physical well-being:

Aromatherapy

The use of soothing, therapeutic scents to enhance comfort and reduce stress. Essential oils can be incorporated in ways that support emotional balance and calm.

Healing Touch

A gentle, energy-based therapy that helps reduce anxiety and promote relaxation through compassionate, intentional touch.
