Massage is a “hands on” treatment in which a therapist manipulates muscles and other soft tissues of the body to improve health and well being. Varieties of massage range from gentle stroking and kneading of muscles and other soft tissues to deeper manual techniques. Massage usually takes place on a massage table and the patient may wear minimal clothing and is covered by a sheet, light blanket, or towel. Oils or lotions are often used to keep friction from irritating the skin and soothing music and dim lighting are often added to increase relaxation.
Using an Oncology Massage Therapist is important because they are specially trained to meet people where they are in their experience with cancer and to apply a highly individualized massage treatment to comfort, nurture and support them in their process.
