Oncology Massage Therapy

About Oncology Massage Therapy

Oncology Massage Therapy helps people cope during treatment; it can be therapeutic during recovery and in the years that follow. It supports those whose cancer is managed as a chronic illness and provides comfort at the end of life. By adapting techniques, the benefits of touch can be experienced by all patients.

Oncology Massage Therapy can change how it feels to live with a serious illness. By providing clinically reasoned and thoughtfully adapted massage, therapists nourish body, mind, and spirit to:

• Improve quality of life
• Reduce anxiety
• Help with the management of pain
• Improve quality of sleep
• Reduce fatigue
• Reduce unpleasant sensations from chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN)
• Increase function in areas affected by scar tissue resulting from surgery and radiation
• Reduce post-surgical swelling and support rehabilitation and recovery
• Support the Lymphatic System and assist with Lymphedema management
• Improve body awareness and image

Prices will vary depending on where patients are in their diagnosis, treatment schedule, and frequency of massage visits.
