Oncology Massage
Oncology Massage aims to provide comfort, relaxation, and relief from the effects of cancer and its treatment, such as pain, fatigue, anxiety, and nausea. The techniques used are gentle and adapted to accommodate any physical limitations or sensitivities that the client may have due to their cancer diagnosis or treatment.
During an Oncology Massage session, I will carefully assess your medical history, treatment protocols, and current physical condition to tailor the massage to their individual needs. This may involve adjusting pressure, positioning, and the duration of the massage to ensure safety and comfort. This massage can offer significant physical and emotional benefits for individuals navigating the challenges of cancer treatment, providing a supportive and nurturing experience during a difficult time.
