Oncology Massage

Oncology massage is a gentle form of remedial massage which has been modified to safely work with the complications of cancer and cancer treatments.

It is beneficial to receive an oncology massage at any stage of the cancer journey, even whilst undergoing chemotherapy and other forms of treatment. A thorough patient history is taken, and adaptations are made to the massage session depending on the individual case to ensure the wellbeing and safety of everyone.

The massage strokes are slow and gentle and profoundly relaxing, thereby allowing the person to experience peace and tranquility.
