What is Oncology Massage?

Oncology Massage is an adaptation of massage techniques and skills to consider the medical and biologically changes experienced by clients with cancer and other life limiting diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or neurodegenerative diseases.

Any person diagnosed with a life limiting illness can safely have an oncology massage. Oncology Massage is used as a complementary therapy and can lead to improvements in pain, anxiety, fatigue, nausea and depression.
