Join us for Sound Bath Healing. This is a transformative experience that utilizes intentional sound frequencies and vibrations that can promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance overall health and well-being. The sound waves generated by the instruments can have a calming effect on the nervous system, leading to a decrease in heart rate and blood pressure. This induces a state of deep relaxation, helping to alleviate stress and anxiety. Additionally, sound baths have been found to potentially foster physical healing and provide relief from physical symptoms. Pre-registration is required and space is limited for this free event.

"Ask The Doc" Series - Fatigue
2024-09-18 19:00 - 20:00 | PA
Please join us for the next session of CTC’s virtual “Ask the Doc” series with Kinetic’s Dr. Erin Helm, focusing on the topic of fatigue. Dr Helm is a licensed physical therapist, researcher and faculty member at Widener University providing education in oncology.

Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is one of the most common side effects of cancer and cancer treatment. Compared to the fatigue experienced by someone without a cancer diagnosis, CRF can be more severe, more distressing, and less likely to be relieved by rest. These symptoms may start before treatment and continue even after treatment is completed. In the upcoming presentation, we will discuss the common symptoms of cancer-related fatigue, strategies to manage symptoms and improve quality of life, and when to seek out additional support.

Registration is required and a Zoom link will be sent.
