What Is Oncology Massage?
Oncology massage is the modification of existing massage therapy techniques in order to safely work with complications of cancer and cancer treatment. Anyone who has ever received cancer treatment, from those in active treatment to those in recovery or survivorship, as well as those at the end of life, are best served by a massage therapist who has received training in Oncology Massage.
So You or a loved one has or has had Cancer. Massage is still an option!
Decreasing my Father’s discomfort during his battle with Cancer (which he beat!) was the reason I went to Massage School.
Seven years later I have found a few other massage passions, but I still have a deep love for those dealing with the big “C”!
A client with cancer is one of the most difficult and complex cases a massage therapist can deal with. There are both obvious and not so obviously adjustments that need to be made to the treatment.
I have taken a lot of very specialized training to work with those who are currently going through Cancer treatment. You can be assured of safe massage and a confident touch!
Give The Gift Of Touch
Both caregiver and the loved one battling Cancer can appreciate the gift of touch – a moment to relax and escape from the pressures and stress of dealing with this disease.
Consider the gift of a gift certificate.
I have seen families and church groups come together to give the gift of massage. It is a powerful way to let them know you care and are thinking of them! The online option makes it an easy and appreciated gift for someone to give even when they live far away.
