“My therapist understands the difficult road of cancer and addresses the physical pain associated with the mental anguish.” – S4OM
Oncology massage is a specialized, non-invasive therapy that helps one manage the symptoms of cancer and the side effects of treatment. It uses a light touch along with slow, steady movements, and is intended to help the body relax. A safe massage plan generally revolves around the side effects (both short and long-term) of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.
