ONCOLOGY MASSAGE

Almost 40% of Americans will be diagnosed with some form of cancer in their lifetime and every one of us are affected by it.

​

While medical science is making amazing progress in fighting cancer, make no mistake that the disease still takes a devastating physical and emotional toll. A gentle massage isn’t capable of repairing the damage done by cancer, but it can give a measure of relief during this stressful time.

​

Massage therapy is safe for cancer patients as long as they are seen by someone trained in oncology massage. They should have experience with lymphedema and understand how to work around ports and medical devices. Always talk to your doctor before undergoing oncology massage to make sure it is right for you.

RELIEVING PAIN

Pain is the most common and debilitating symptom among cancer patients. While the exact prevalence of pain varies depending on the type and stage of cancer, research shows that pain generally affects over 50% of those undergoing cancer therapy and up to 90% with advanced cancer experience pain.

​

Massage therapy shows promise for reducing pain intensity/severity, fatigue, and anxiety in cancer populations. This is the conclusion of a collaborative meta-analysis of research on massage therapy for pain conducted by Samueli Institute and commissioned by the Massage Therapy Foundation, with support from the AMTA.
