Hypnotherapy is also effective for helping smokers quit. Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis in a therapeutic setting. Hypnosis is the process of bypassing conscious, critical thinking to achieve selected goals by impressing them into the subconscious mind. For those trying to quit smoking, hypnotherapy can help reduce anxiety and stress and help reduce excess weight gain often associated with smoking cessation. People trying to stop smoking often replace that habit with other habits.
Exercise is one habit that is encouraged.
Fox Chase can offer help in developing a personal exercise program. A few moderate exercises that can be done anywhere throughout the day will burn more calories to compensate for any additional food intake. Of course, regaining normal lung capacity, improving bone density, enhancing strength and flexibility as well as improving your general musculoskeletal and cardiovascular health are additional benefits from exercise. Specific fees for medical intervention, acupuncture, hypnotherapy and exercise programs will be explained during the program. Fox Chase Cancer Center is one of 37 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the nation.
