Used alongside conventional brain tumour treatments, complementary therapies may help to manage the side-effects of medical treatments or to improve mental and/or physical wellbeing.

We take a look at what the difference is between complementary and alternative therapies, and the types of therapy some people find helpful such as acupuncture, aromatherapy and massage.

I was working as a self employed reflexologist when my (then teenage) daughter was diagnosed and treated for Germinoma brain tumours. I used reflexology whenever she asked for it - she found it helpful with pan, sleep issues and generally to feel comforting touch. It is a non invasive, safe form of supportive therapeutic intervention.
