About Oncology Massage

Oncology massage is a very specialized, safe, non-invasive compassionate touch that is effective and beneficial to the mind, body and spirit designed for anyone in any stage of cancer. Often massage is the only positive nurturing touch people experience while going through cancer treatment.  

Oncology massage is very different from traditional massage at your local day spa.  It is based on light, gentle touch and slow, steady movements working with the central nervous system to help the body relax. Specially trained oncology therapists are aware of various cancer treatments, chemotherapy, radiation, lymphedema and able to work around ports and medical devices and willing to consult with doctors, surgeons and physical therapists. 

Each massage session is modified for the individual based on their experience during cancer treatment.  Treatments might include myofascial work and cupping.
