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
I've been suffering with a very painful shoulder for the past couple of months and had a 1 hour review and massage with Katie. She is very professional and knowledgable and has helped enormously with my shoulder. I've booked several more appointments and highly recommend Katie
Excellent treatment and great knowledge to help with any questions I had. I shall be returning for further treatments.
I am currently suffering with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome which Causes constriction of the nerves in my shoulder, chest and arm! Since going to see Katie, she has worked wonders by releasing tight muscles in my neck and shoulders which relate to this condition! The pain had reduced immensely! Katie is so knowledgable and explains things so clearly that I can understand what is actually happening within my body.
Katie has an impressive background and has experienced chronic pain first hand. When looking for help, she seemed to tick all the boxes. From our first chat, Katie gave me the hope I had been missing for years. I feel like I have only made relatively small changes (to many things) and now I have virtually no pain at all, I have more energy, I sleep better and I'm enjoying lots of small things that had become a chore.
I have a bounce that I haven't had for years. My attitude has changed from worrying about my future to improving my health and strength and having the will to continue to do so.
