Pre-Surgery Self-Hypnosis
Self-hypnosis, a form of deep meditation, can be a powerful strategy for people undergoing cancer treatment. It can help you prepare for surgery, recover more quickly after treatment, relieve anxiety, and reduce the need for pain medication.
Our 30-minute CD will guide you in developing the skill of self-hypnosis. To purchase a CD for $9.95 plus tax, please call 646-888-0820.
Training for Treatment and Beyond
Exercise, when performed properly, can improve quality of life for people undergoing cancer treatment. Physical training increases the flow of oxygen-rich blood throughout your body, which boosts energy levels, endurance, and circulation, while decreasing stress and fatigue. Exercise can also improve your strength, flexibility, and posture, as well as your self-confidence.
Our 40-minute exercise DVD for all levels is designed to help you feel physically and emotionally stronger before, during, and after cancer treatment. To purchase a DVD for $14.95 plus tax, please call 646-888-0802.
