Oncology Massage
Oncology massage is a tailored-to-you type of massage for those who are living with cancer or have lived with cancer in the past. Oncology massage is a therapy which can help manage some of the side effects of cancer treatment and symptoms. It can be a helpful tool working alongside conventional treatment that can help relieve some of the physical and emotional strains of cancer as well as potentially aiding other symptoms such as insomnia, muscular stiffness and anxiety that cancer may contribute to.
Most people suffering from cancer are able to receive oncology massage.
After an initial consultation, a bespoke massage is created with your needs as paramount, hoping you will get the best treatment you need.
