Oncology Massage Therapy

Specialized, Compassionate Care for Every Stage of the Journey

Oncology Massage is the modification of existing massage therapy techniques to safely work with the complications of cancer and cancer treatments. Whether you are currently in active treatment (chemotherapy, radiation, surgery), in recovery, or at the end of life, this specialized approach prioritizes your body’s changing needs.

A Clinically Adapted Approach
Cancer treatment affects the body in profound ways that make traditional massage contraindicated. Our RMT-led oncology sessions are tailored to address:

Compromised Lymphatic Systems: Adjusting pressure and direction to prevent or manage lymphedema, especially if lymph nodes have been removed or irradiated.

Fragile Tissue & Bone Health: Gentle techniques for clients experiencing bone metastasis or thinning (osteoporosis) due to hormonal therapies.

Medical Devices: Working safely around ports, PICC lines, pumps, and surgical scars.

Vital Sign Monitoring: Adjusting for low platelet counts (bruising risk), low white blood cell counts (infection risk), and fatigue.
