Oncology Massage is a specialized approach to massage therapy that is designed specifically to address the unique needs of individuals who have been touched by cancer. At Proactive Massage, we understand the profound effects that cancer and its treatments can have on the body and mind. That's why our certified therapist offers expert Oncology Massage sessions tailored to each individual's journey.
Who Can Benefit from
Oncology Massage?
Whether you are currently undergoing cancer treatment, are in the recovery phase, celebrating survivorship, or nearing the end of life, Oncology Massage is a beneficial addition to your wellbeing routine. This therapeutic approach aims to provide:
- Relief from pain
- Reduction in nausea
- Alleviation of fatigue
- Comfort during times of anxiety and depression
- Overall emotional and physical support
Understanding the Distinctiveness of Oncology Massage
At the heart of Oncology Massage is its inherent adaptability, designed to meet the diverse needs of those affected by cancer. Unlike standard massage methods, Oncology Massage is not merely about the application of a set of techniques. It places immense emphasis on understanding the client's unique health status and adjusting the session accordingly.
When administering Oncology Massage at Proactive Massage, our therapist takes into account:
Levels of fatigue
Symptoms of peripheral neuropathy
Blood cell counts and any related concerns
The risk or presence of blood clots
Bone pain or bone metastases
Effects of radiation or surgical procedures
Lymph node removal and associated risks
Lymphedema prevention and management
Impact of medications
Presence of medical devices
Long-term effects of cancer treatments
What Sets Oncology Massage Apart?
- A Comprehensive Approach: Instead of just applying pressure or movement, our therapist considers a holistic view of the client's health. This means understanding the potential effects of things like peripheral neuropathy, the intricacies of blood cell counts, and even the challenges presented by bone pain or metastases.
- Navigating Treatment Effects: Oncology Massage takes into account the impacts of radiation, surgeries, and medications. For example, the removal of lymph nodes can have specific implications for massage, as can the presence of medical devices or the long-term effects of cancer treatments.
- Risk Minimization: Key to Oncology Massage is its emphasis on safety. Recognizing the potential risks of blood clots, the onset or exacerbation of lymphedema, or skin sensitivities due to treatment, our therapist is vigilant in ensuring that each massage is conducted with the utmost care.
- Adaptive Techniques: Deep or rigorous massage may not always be appropriate for someone on the cancer journey. Factors like fatigue, the effects of compromised blood cells, or even nausea can mean that a gentler touch is required. At Proactive Massage, the priority is always on providing the maximum support tailored to each individual's situation.
At Proactive Massage, Oncology Massage is not just another service – it's a reflection of our commitment to offering personalized care and understanding to those touched by cancer.
