But, the ultimate aim of therapies is to enhance the quality of life. For many lung cancer patients, the muscle-pain, breathing and sleeping issues are common side effects. They often feel pain in the nerves or in muscles, upper back and shoulders etc. Massage on the other hand, helps ease that pain.

One of the most common types of massages is the Swedish massage which is a full over body massage. Then, there’s a deep issue massage or neuromuscular massage as well.
