Oncology Massage
Oncology massage is a specialized form of massage therapy designed to safely support individuals who are undergoing cancer treatment, recovering from it, or living with a cancer diagnosis. It is tailored to meet the unique needs and considerations of each client, taking into account their medical history, current health status, and treatment plan.
We use gentle techniques, modified pressure, and careful positioning to ensure the client’s comfort and safety throughout the session.
This type of massage is not intended to cure cancer but to provide relief from the physical and emotional challenges that often accompany the disease and its treatments. It can help reduce stress, ease pain, relieve nausea, improve sleep, and promote a sense of relaxation and well-being.
Oncology massage offers a compassionate, nurturing approach that supports the body, mind, and spirit, helping individuals feel more comfortable and cared for during their healing journey.
