What is Oncology Massage? 

Oncology Massage

Oncology Massage is a specialised form of massage therapy designed to safely support people living with cancer, those undergoing treatment, and those in remission. Every treatment is carefully adapted to your individual needs, taking into consideration your diagnosis, medical history, current treatment, and how you are feeling on the day.

Using gentle, evidence-informed techniques, oncology massage aims to provide comfort, reduce physical discomfort, and support your overall wellbeing. Treatment is always tailored to ensure it is both safe and appropriate for your stage of care.

Oncology Massage may help to alleviate or manage:

  • Fatigue

  • Nausea

  • Pain and muscle tension

  • Swelling and fluid retention

  • Lymphoedema (where appropriate)

  • Cording (Axillary Web Syndrome)

  • Peripheral neuropathy

  • Constipation

  • Anxiety and stress

  • Difficulty sleeping and poor sleep quality

Whether you are newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, recovering from surgery, or living beyond cancer, oncology massage provides a nurturing space to help you feel more comfortable, supported, and connected with your body.
