Oncology massage adapts techniques to safely support those affected by cancer and its treatments, including those in treatment, recovery, or at the end of life. A trained oncology therapist understands cancer’s effects and treatment side effects, adjusting techniques accordingly.
We recommend a 90-minute first session for evaluation and proper care.
Benefits of Oncology Massage
Oncology massage has been shown to reduce pain and anxiety, while patients also report better sleep, less isolation, improved body image, and enhanced well-being.
Rather than following strict protocols, oncology massage is tailored to each individual’s needs, safely working within clinical guidelines. Treatments often require immediate and long-term adjustments, and a skilled therapist adapts the session to address treatment side effects and disease progression.
