“Mind-body therapies are a group of healing techniques that enhance the mind’s interactions with bodily function, to induce relaxation and to improve overall health and well-being. Daily practice is essential for deriving benefit from these therapies, which have become increasingly popular over the last two decades. A growing body of research indicates that mind-body therapies are safe and effective ways of mitigating physical and emotional symptoms, and improving coping skills in cancer patients. Because these practices are pleasant, noninvasive and beneficial, they are most suited for patients and survivors to help manage their own care.”
“Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center’s About Mind-Body Therapies database, a tool for the public as well as healthcare professionals, can help you evaluate the benefits of mind-body interventions. The database is continually updated to provide you with objective and evidence-based information.”

“Historically, Western medicine has separated the mind from the body. But research has established the complex links between the mind, emotions and physical health that should be considered in medical care. Mind-body therapy focuses on the connections between mental health issues and physical health.”
“Mind-body therapy includes treatments such as biofeedback, relaxation techniques, cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness, behavioral training, counseling and more. Therapy is administered by a trained, certified and licensed psychologist.”
“At UCHealth, behavioral counseling is often enhanced through other specific mind-body therapies like relaxation training and breathing techniques. This not only makes therapies more powerful, but also allows patients to take a proactive, self-care role in their therapy.”
“Biofeedback is a powerful therapeutic tool used to teach patients how to self-regulate their bodies and behaviors. During biofeedback therapy treatment, sensors are attached to the skin, allowing providers to monitor the patient’s involuntary bodily functions: heartbeat, blood pressure, hand temperature, muscle contractions and brain-wave activity. They can then associate certain behaviors and mental stimuli with pain, anxiety and other disorders.”

“Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is a unique behavioral health therapy aimed at reducing the symptoms of chronic pain by helping the brain unlearn pain. This cognitive approach is comprised of neuroscience-backed education about pain, evidence gathering about pain experiences, somatic tracking to help deactivate pain signals and strategies to sustain progress. The goal of PRT is to help break the cycle of chronic pain by helping people change the way they think about and emotionally experience their pain. The Center for Mind Body Medicine offers PRT through individual therapy or an eight-week group therapy.”
“PRT is most effective for patients whose pain is not explained by the following active structural tissue damage issues: cancer/tumor, infection/disease, neurological/nerve damage, fracture/sprain, or autoimmune disorders. However, people could benefit from PRT if their pain originated from one of the above issues but has not resolved for at least three months after completing recommended medical interventions and treatments.”
