Oncology Massage

Service Description

Oncology Massage is a highly specific, customized massage session designed to meet the unique and changing needs of someone in treatment for cancer or with a history of cancer treatment. Using the foundations of Swedish massage combined with Eastern energetic practices, oncology massage is a very gentle and very slow therapy that helps the body and mind manage changes resulting from a cancer diagnosis. Due to a high level of required training in order to practice this specialized therapy, it is very safe though a doctor's approval is recommended. The benefits of oncology massage are wide ranging but through the intentions to "relax, restore, and nurture," we are able to assist with: pain relief, reducing anxiety and depression, decreasing nausea and negative digestion side-effects, eliminating insomnia, relieving muscular spasms and fatigue, and enhancing overall outlook and self-esteem.
