The main focus of Oncology Massage is to enhance healing while “doing no harm” to people whose bodies are:

• dealing with lowered immune systems

• at risk for developing lymphedema

• stressed by radiation and/or chemotherapy treatment(s), or recovering from surgery

Enhance Healing ~ Much more than a feel-good treat or relaxation technique, Oncology Massage Therapy can actually assist your body and spirit in their constant pursuit of restoring you to health. By integrating Western and Eastern modalities of bodywork in order to address the symptoms of both cancer treatments and the disease, Oncology Massage Therapy can help with:

• nausea,

• diarrhea,

• constipation,

• lack of appetite,

• insomnia, exhaustion,

• low blood counts,

• pain
   

and numerous other side effects from chemotherapy, radiation treatments and surgery.

This massage can also help:

• boost the immune system

• strengthen compromised body organs and systems, 

• build up blood counts,

• lessen depression, and

• enhance feelings of well-being.

Oncology Massage Therapy incorporates Reflexology and Acupressure techniques to strengthen both the physical and the emotional. The foot has reflex zones (and nerve paths) to all the areas and organs of the body.
