Oncology massage is a safe, gentle and effective technique that can be used whilst people are undergoing cancer treatment, post treatment and also for those who have a fragile state of health.
Benefits of Oncology Massage
The treatment engages the relaxation response which allows the body (and mind) to heal, reduce pain and nausea, improve sleep and supports the body at a cellular level to function at its optimal level.
When this technique has been used in hospital settings, nurses noted a decrease in administering pain medication whist the oncology massage therapists were treating on the ward.
What to expect during your Oncology Massage treatment
Every treatment is adapted to the presenting symptoms of the client which may change on each visit depending on energy levels, nausea and pain levels.
