Gentle and holistic approach to enhancing your overall wellbeing

Oncology Massage

What Is Oncology Massage?

There were myths associated with the safety of massage for oncology patients for fear of spreading cancer.  These myths are myths and not true. Evidence suggests that massage can be hugely beneficial for those undergoing cancer treatment and managing the nasty side effects.  It helps promote a feeling of wellbeing, lift mood and improve sleep.

How Can Oncology Massage Benefit You?

  • Pain Relief: Reduce the side effects of cancer treatment.
  • Stress Reduction: By reducing stress ones body is in a better place to promote healing.
  • Emotional Wellbeing: Going through cancer treatment can be hugely emotional.  Having massage can help you deal with these emotions and give you an outlet for them.
  • Improved Sleep: Enhance the quality of your sleep through relaxation.

Is Oncology Massage Right For You?

If you are currently going through cancer treatment or have had cancer, then this therapy can be hugely beneficial for you.  There is no evidence to say that massage can treat cancer, but it can help you manage the side effects of treatments and put your body into the best possible position for healing.  Check with your cancer care team that massage will be beneficial.  It is not advisable to have massage on areas where you’ve recently had radiotherapy, or areas where the skin is broken, bleeding or bruised.  If you have lymphoedema, it is advisable to you seek out someone trained in lymphatic drainage massage.

  • First CST (Craniosacral therapy) session - I think I was aware of it for babies but this was new for me. Subtle and intense, a release of stress, tension, pressure. What I thought was 15-20 minutes was over an hour. Katie - a calm, professional presence as always.

  • Katie's BEAT pain programme has had a significant impact on me in such a short amount of time. In just 6 weeks, I reduced my inflammatory score by 50%, I am no longer struggling with pain every day, I am no longer feeling physically sick everyday, my hair has stopped falling out, I lost 4kg without really trying and I am welcoming joy back into my life. I hadn't realised how all my symptoms were connected to my body being so inflamed and causing pain. Learning more about the link between the gut, food and pain has been so helpful. Katie is like a trusted friend who understands what I've been going through (having had first hand experience herself) and doesn't judge, but provides practical tips for making small incremental changes, based on lots of knowledge and insight. If you ask a question, she is always able to provide lots of information and additional resources to support understanding.
    Having been at such a loss on what to do to help myself and reduce my pain, I strongly recommend Katie's BEAT programme for anyone struggling with chronic pain.

  • I had back and neck pain that was a constant struggle and this triggered almost daily headaches. After just 1 session everything was so much better and the headaches have improved dramatically.
