Gentle, adaptive massage supporting you through treatment, recovery and beyond.
“safe, nurturing touch for comfort, calm and connection during your cancer journey.”
What Is Oncology Massage?
Oncology Massage is a specialised, adaptable approach to massage designed for anyone affected by cancer or its treatments. The therapist is trained to carefully consider all aspects of the treatment and positioning to ensure safety and comfort. It will generally be done with lighter pressure and slower pacing.
Each session is adapted to your energy levels, medical history, lymphatic changes, scars, ports, or treatment side effects. Evidence shows that oncology massage may reduce anxiety, improve sleep, ease pain, and offer emotional relief during a uniquely challenging time.

π€ Anyone currently undergoing cancer treatment
