”A research study on the calming effects of the rocking motion of boats in breast cancer patients is scheduled to get under way later this month at Pilots Point Marina in Westbrook, Conn ...
... ”Wave motion is both a motion and a cellular memory, and it works by recalling a time before birth when there was no stress,” said Carline Lutynski, a breast cancer survivor and program director for the study. “This is a very light form of conditioning, by helping a person to remember a very calming time of their life, a very secure and carefree time...
... The study is free for participants and involves spending an hour on a boat, in a reclined position, to experience the naturally occurring wave motion. Participants will be asked to fill out questionnaires before and after the session so they can monitor their stress levels and see if there were any changes...
...A 35-foot Pearson sloop will be used for the study. The boat is owned by Joy Sherman, who uses it for sailing lessons and charters...”
