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.

Testimonials That Speak Volumes
My name is Tom and I'm 75. I've been receiving treatment on my shoulder for a possibly related previous rotator cuff injury. On my first consultation I couldn't raise my arm above shoulder height without severe pain and had tingling in my fingers possible due to trapped nerves.
Katie did a full assessment of my injury and put together an exercise program that was really easy to follow, however she continued to research other possible causes and symptoms which meant varying the treatments.
After 6 one hour treatments which included amazing muscular massage and acupuncture the pain is now only minor and rotational movement is excellent.
Katie is most professional in her approach of understanding individual issues and I would fully recommend engaging her services.I started going to Katie a few weeks ago for Long COVID. She started a couple of sessions of CranioSacral Therapy which was very relaxing and really helped lower my stress levels and help me sleep. I have since had a session of acupressure combined with massage. Katie is very knowledgable and really takes time to establish any issues with my body and worked on them brilliantly. I have not felt as good as I do now in months - thank you.
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.
Such a wonderful, caring, effective therapist.
