• Late effects of treatment
A trained massage therapist will
modify the session depending
on your unique situation. This is
essential for the proper support
and safety of each patient.
What happens in an
Oncology Massage Session?
An oncology massage can be
performed on a massage table
or chair, depending on the
comfort of the patient. The body
is covered with sheets and/or
blanket for warmth. Smooth,
flowing stroked are used and the
touch is very gentle. At any sign
of discomfort, the pressure is
released or the therapist moves
to another section on the body.
