Mind Body Medical Institute

Our Mind/Body Cancer Symptom Reduction Clinic helps heal the whole person.

During the course of our program, you will

• reduce the physical symptoms of cancer and its treatment
• become an active participant in your own health care
• regain a sense of control and well-being
• deal more effectively with stress
• manage the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatment

Patients acquire skills to manage the disease

Bear in mind that MultiCare Cancer Symptom Reduction Clinic is a comprehensive treatment program, not a support group.

Two hour sessions held once per week for ten weeks will prepare  you to cope with cancer by:

• reaching a physical state of deep relaxation that changes your physical and emotional response to stress
• changing your thinking and behavior in ways that enhance your ability to cope 
• combating the effects of cancer and its treatment with proper exercise and stretching
• eating nutritiously
• setting goals
• increasing your ability to manage distress physical symptoms
