What is Oncology Massage?

At its most basic, oncology massage is bodywork that is designed specific to the needs of people who are dealing with cancer and/or its treatments. Every session will be different as your needs may change from session to session. The therapist will discuss where you are in treatment, what you'd like to get out of today's treatment, and work on a session that you are both comfortable with. Safety is our priority, therefore a doctor's note of approval is necessasry before treatment. Our office can supply you or the Doctor's office with an approval note.
The main focus is to enhance healing while “doing no harm” to people whose bodies are:

• dealing with lowered immune systems,
• at risk for developing lymphedema
• stressed by radiation and/or chemotherapy treatment(s), or recovering from surgery
  • Enhance Healing ~ Much more than a feel-good treat or relaxation technique, Oncology Massage Therapy can actually assist your body and spirit in their constant pursuit of restoring you to health. Integrating Western and Eastern modalities of bodywork in order to address the symptoms of both cancer treatments and the disease.
