Oncology Massages
Our oncology massages provide increased circulation, relaxation, pain relief, and stress reduction for people undergoing cancer treatments.
An oncology massage is a specialized form of massage therapy tailored specifically for individuals who are undergoing treatment for cancer or who have a history of cancer. It's designed to provide comfort, relaxation, and relief from the side effects of cancer treatments. Medical massage therapists undergo specialized training to understand the unique needs and considerations of individuals with cancer, such as the effects of cancer treatment on the body. Our therapists are trained to modify traditional massage methods to meet the physical needs of clients undergoing (or who have finished) cancer treatments, such as understanding the increased risk of lymphedema, possibility of blood clots, etc.
During your oncology massage in Pensacola, your medical massage therapist will discuss with you your medical history, treatment plan, and any concerns you have. The massage techniques used can be adapted to your comfort level and specific needs.
The goals of an oncology massage may include reducing stress and anxiety, alleviating pain and discomfort, improving sleep quality, enhancing relaxation, and promoting a sense of well-being. It's important to note that oncology massage does not treat the cancer itself but rather aims to support your overall well-being and quality of life.
Oncology massage can be beneficial at any stage of the cancer journey, from diagnosis through survivorship. It's essential for you to consult with your healthcare team before receiving massage therapy to ensure that it's safe and appropriate for your situation.
