How is oncology massage different to normal massage?
Oncology massage is a light and gentle form of touch, it does not penetrate into the deep tissue layers of the body nor does it attempt to manipulate muscle. Oncology massage is a soothing, relaxing and replenishing treatment, it can be given with or without oil depending on the clients needs and thresholds. An oncology massage therapist is also trained to make adjustments for side-effects of treatments and of the disease itself, and also to make adjustments for medical devices, surgery and, tumor sites. If you would like more information about oncology massage please contact Janice directly on 0478 103 631. Gift vouchers are available for loved ones.
