Oncology Massage
Experts say no matter how severe the cancer treatment’s side effects, there’s always a way to administer some type of bodywork. While hospitalized, some appropriate and gentle techniques for cancer patients include craniosacral therapy, polarity therapy, reiki, and Therapeutic Touch. As the patient’s energy returns, work can move from a focus of being comfort-oriented to work that includes range of motion techniques, scar release, and even therapies to address body image issues. Massage for the Journey Ahead Whether to reduce anxiety before an upcoming medical procedure, to help control nausea related to chemotherapy, or to diminish cancer- or treatmentrelated pain, oncology massage offers many options for the cancer patient. If you or someone you love is living with cancer, consider massage as a therapeutic, nurturing choice to help navigate this difficult journey.
Massage and Cancer Research shows that massage has astounding therapeutic value, and that’s equally true for its use with cancer patients. If you or someone you love is living with cancer, bodywork can serve as a nurturing complement to mainstream treatment. Massage can be a vital part of the process to help cancer patients reclaim and reintegrate their body— making them whole again, says Gayle MacDonald, author of Medicine Hands: Massage Therapy for People with Cancer. “Skilled touch is beneficial at nearly every stage of the cancer experience—during hospitalization, the pre- or post-operative period, in the outpatient clinic, during chemotherapy and radiation, recovery at home, remission, or cure.”
Please reach out if you have any questions and hopefully I can put your mind, as well as your body, at ease during this difficult time.
