ONCOLOGY MASSAGE
ONCOLOGY MASSAGE
Oncology massage is a specific type of therapy designed to deliver safe and therapeutic massage to clients with cancer and who may be undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy treatment. Oncology massage therapists are trained to meet people where they are in their experience with cancer and apply a highly individualized massage treatment to comfort and support them in their process. Therapists mindfully work with the clients to suit their individual needs (physical, psychological, emotional), considering all aspects of the disease and side effects of the cancer treatment. By modifying traditional techniques they can ensure that the clients are able to experience the benefits of massage in a safe and comfortable environment.
