Oncology Massage Therapy is a specialized field of massage therapy that involves the use of massage techniques to help manage the side effects of cancer treatments. This type of massage is performed by licensed massage therapists who have received additional training in working with cancer patients. Oncology Massage Therapy is designed to be safe and effective for individuals who are currently undergoing cancer treatment, in recovery, or in remission. The massage techniques used in Oncology Massage Therapy are tailored to the individual needs of the patient. The therapist will take into account the patient's medical history, current treatment plan, and any side effects they may be experiencing. The goal of the massage is to help manage pain, reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep, and promote relaxation. Oncology Massage Therapy is typically performed in a clinical setting, such as a hospital or cancer treatment center. The therapist will work closely with the patient's medical team to ensure that the massage is safe and appropriate for their condition.
