Until recently, cancer patients were not able to receive massage treatments as it was believed that it would spread the diseased cells throughout the body via the lymph. Research has proven this is not the case, in fact massage can be beneficial to patients.
Oncology massage is a relaxing treatment using gentler, slower techniques designed specifically for cancer paitients.
Each session is planned to fit in with their individual needs on the day, according to the treatment they are currently receiving. The massage may be performed through clothing or with oil, and may be a shorter session depending on how the patient is feeling on the day.
