Oncology Massage
Oncology massage works with those undergoing treatment for cancer support their immune system through promoting better wellbeing. It leaves the fix-it attitude at the door. Instead, it aims to reduce the symptoms of the disease and side effects of the treatments.
Adaptions are made so as not to cause you harm, deplete your body, conflict with your treatment plan and works with your needs.
Mindful Touch
When one of my regular clients was diagnosed with cancer and indicated he would still like massage treatments, I wanted to better understand how I could support him and ensure I could work with him safely. I undertook Oncology massage training and was grateful I could put my training into practice with someone with whom I was familiar.
It was a powerful learning experience for me and taught me the value of ‘less is more’. Any cancer journey can be triggering and emotive for the patient and their support network but it was an absolute privilege to be a part of his, and to feel I was doing something worthwhile in contributing to lessening someone’s unease.
