Oncology Massage
Oncology massage is a specialised branch of massage therapy that focuses on providing safe and supportive massage techniques for individuals who are currently undergoing or have a history of cancer treatment. Designed to address the unique physical and emotional needs of cancer patients, oncology massage is administered by therapists who possess a deep understanding of the medical complexities associated with cancer and its treatments. Unlike traditional massage, oncology massage takes into consideration factors such as the type of cancer, treatment phase, surgery sites, and any potential contraindications, tailoring the massage session to ensure the utmost comfort and safety of the client. Through gentle and compassionate touch, oncology massage aims to alleviate pain, reduce anxiety, enhance relaxation, and promote a sense of overall well-being during a challenging time.
