  • Oncology/ Lymphatic Massage

  • Oncology Massage is the adaptation of massage techniques to safely nurture the body of someone affected by cancer or its treatments. An oncology trained therapist has completed comprehensive training in general massage therapy as well as additional specialized training that addresses the side effects of cancer or its various treatments. Lymphatic massage, also called lymphatic drainage or manual lymph drainage, is a technique developed in Germany for treatment of lymphedema, an accumulation of fluid that can occur after lymph nodes are removed during surgery, most often a mastectomy for breast cancer. Lymphatic massage can also be used following orthopedic and other surgeries to reduce inflammation and edema. An oncology massage therapist will adapt massage techniques to safely meet the changing bodywork considerations during and after cancer treatment. Clinical research shows that massage can improve some cancer treatment side effects, namely perception of pain and anxiety. Massage benefits can include:

    • Reduced pain and fatigue
    • Decreased anxiety
    • Less nausea
    • Improved sleep
    • Eased isolation
    • Enhanced body image
    • Greater sense of well-being
