Oncology massage is a gentle, specialised form of massage created especially for people undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment. Performed by trained therapists, it is carefully adapted to your needs – adjusting pressure, techniques, and positioning to ensure comfort and safety while avoiding areas affected by treatment.
How it helps
Research shows that oncology massage can ease pain, reduce fatigue, calm anxiety, and support better sleep, all while promoting deep relaxation and overall wellbeing. It may also improve circulation, ease chemotherapy-related nerve discomfort, and enhance quality of life, offering a comforting sense of care and support during a challenging time.
Getting started
Look for a massage therapist with accredited oncology massage training, and talk to your care team before booking. Sessions can take place in hospitals, clinics, or private settings, and are tailored to your comfort level, whether that’s lying on a table, reclining in a chair, or remaining fully clothed.
