Oncology Massage During and After Treatment
Comforting, Safe, and Effective massage for anyone affected by cancer and its treatments.
Being treated for cancer does not mean you need to stop getting massages. Your massage therapist has a Specialized Certificate in Oncology Massage; a specialized training that provides the background needed to modify the massage for the side effects and long-term effects of cancer treatment. Modifications may include changing your position for the massage, extra pillows or bolsters, working around ports and other medical devices, and using less pressure, all depending on your health history including possible low blood cell counts, risk of lymphedema, neuropathy, limited range of motion from scar tissue, and fatigue. Your safety and comfort is our highest concern.
What is Oncology Massage?
Oncology massage is a massage that has been adapted to any and all effects of cancer, the way it has affected the body. The massage is also modified based on side effects of treatment, whether from chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation, both short term and long term. The focus is therapeutic and restorative..

Testimonials
We keep the names confidential.
“I was really stressed when I got there for the massage, and wasn’t at all when I left. Definitely helped me relax.”
“Massage therapy continues to be very helpful in my current chemotherapy regimen. I go every two weeks for a four-hour infusion. Of course, that procedure does entail a certain amount of tension and the massage therapist’s soothing treatment is always very welcome. It results in a significant decrease in tension and neuropathy in my feet.”
“I have not allowed myself to have [a massage] since chemo started and received one monthly before diagnosis. This was wonderful and I would like more..”
