Therapy Explained: Oncology Massage

May’s treatment of the month is Oncology massage

With our oncology massage, traditional massage techniques have been adapted to safely treat those who are receiving treatment for cancer, in remission or living with cancer, including individuals receiving end of life care.

Massage can help to manage the side effects of cancer treatments such as dry skin and muscular tension, and it reduces the impact of physical and emotional scars on the body. Massage promotes relaxation and healing and can help with the management of fatigue.

Claire has received postgraduate training in oncology massage therapies. She can effectively adapt massage treatments to ensure they are safe and enjoyable for clients and she considers the cancer treatments you may be receiving (such as medications, surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy) as well as for the disease when performing massage treatments. Claire performs a thorough consultation as part of your first appointment.
