Compassionate Care
This initiative provides EI caregiving benefits while you’re away from work to care for or support a critically ill or injured person or someone needing end-of-life care. To find out if you qualify or if you need these benefits at all please visit: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/ei/caregiving.html
When we think of comfort care or non-medical care as an important element of end of life care then we open up a world of support and complementary practices. From massage therapists and reflexologists, to Reiki and healing touch, there are professional healing arts professionals waiting to help you manage both your mental and physical symptoms.
Alternative Therapies
Description
Acupressure and AcupunctureÂ
This is a traditional Chinese practice where the practitioner alters the flow of Qi within the client's body. This is done by precisely applying pressure to specific parts of the client's body, either with needles or hands.
Aromatherapy
By using essential oils made from plants. Each one has properties that are thought to have health benefits. You can inhale them, by putting them in a diffuser or by putting a few drops on a tissue or they can be massaged directly onto your body Aromatherapy may reduce stress levels and aid relaxation.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy aims to put you into a state of deep relaxation. The feeling it gives is similar to drifting off to sleep or as slowly wake in the morning. It's important to make sure that your hypnotherapist is properly trained and trusted.Â
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy involves kneading the muscles and soft tissues in your body. The aim is to reduce tension and pain, improve circulation, and help you relax.
Reflexology
Reflexology involves massaging the feet and sometimes hands. It's based on the belief that every area of your body is linked with a corresponding area on your foot. Reflexologists believe that by applying gentle pressure to an area of the foot, it may have a positive effect on part of your body. They also believe that the hand is linked with other parts of the body similarly. It's usually done while you are sitting or lying down. Only very gentle pressure is applied.
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese term that means universal energy. Reiki practitioners believe that energy flows through the body and Reiki is a way of channeling this energy through their hands. The practitioner places their hands either on or just above certain points of your body and moves them around. The aim is to move and balance the energy around your body and get rid of any energy "blocks". You don't have to get undressed and you can sit or lie down for this therapy.
Shiatsu Massage
The word Shiatsu means finger pressure in Japanese. The practitioner applies gentle pressure to specific points on your body. Like acupressure, shiatsu aims to balance the levels of energy in your body. Shiatsu therapists may use their hands, elbows, and sometimes feet to apply comfortable pressure. It's given when you're fully clothed.
