Oncology Massage Therapy

Oncology Massage is a specialized field designed for anyone in any stage of cancer. It is a gentle, safe, and non-invasive body therapy focused on promoting relaxation and relieving anxiety, fear, and stress in individuals during pre- and post-operative surgeries and treatments.

Designed to comfort, nurture, and support each client in their individual experience with cancer, Oncology Massage takes into consideration the possible contraindications and risks associated with cancer treatments. Therapists are trained to modify each session based on what is happening with each individual during the course of their treatment.

Clinical research shows that massage can improve some cancer treatment side effects, namely perception of pain and anxiety. Massage benefits* also may include:

• Reduced fatigue
• Decreased nausea
• Improved sleep
• Eased isolation
• Enhanced body image
• Greater sense of well being
