Oncology Massage
WHATS MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Oncology massage is a specialised and highly considered form of therapeutic touch, created specifically to support individuals who are living with or recovering from cancer. It is very different from conventional massage, with every aspect carefully adapted to prioritise safety, comfort, and wellbeing.
What sets it apart: Specialised Training & Knowledge: Oncology massage therapists undertake advanced, specialist training that goes far beyond traditional massage education. This includes a detailed understanding of cancer pathology, treatment pathways such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, and immunotherapy, and the short- and long-term side effects these treatments may cause.
This clinical knowledge is essential to delivering safe, appropriate, and supportive care at every stage of your journey. Highly Individualised Sessions: No two oncology massage sessions are ever the same. Each treatment is carefully tailored to you — taking into account your specific diagnosis, stage of treatment or recovery, current symptoms, energy levels, and any medical considerations such as ports, PICC lines, surgical sites, or lymphedema risk.
Pressure, positioning, session length, and treatment focus are continually adapted to ensure the experience remains safe, restorative, and responsive to how your body feels on the day.
Safety First:
Your safety and comfort are our top priority. Each session follows strict clinical guidelines, with careful consideration of contraindications such as fragile skin, bone metastases, and treatment-related sensitivities to ensure a fully safe and beneficial experience.
Gentle, Compassionate Care:
Techniques are lighter and more nurturing than traditional massage, designed to promote deep relaxation, ease discomfort, and support emotional well-being without overloading the body.
This specialist approach ensures your oncology massage is safe, supportive, and carefully tailored to where you are in your individual journey.
