Oncology massage is a gentle and nurturing massage that safely addresses the needs of cancer patients and patients in palliative care.
Therapists are trained to understand the physical, emotional and psychological needs during the different stages of the journey (diagnosis, treatment, recovery, palliative care).
Gentle and safe techniques are used to induce deep relaxation which could calm the mind as well.
Research has shown that massage during and post cancer treatments can lead to relief from side effects experienced from conventional treatment such as pain and nausea, improved energy levels and sleep, improvement in fatigue, anxiety and depression.
