My oncology massage therapy is a gentle, light touch massage, specifically designed to provide comfort and relaxation an opportunity to switch off from the stresses and strains of living with cancer.

 The massage can promote relaxation and reduce cortisol levels in the body. The feeling of nurturing touch can provide emotional support and address feelings of isolation. 

 Massage increases levels of serotonin and dopamine in the body, these are mood boosting hormones which can help you to be more positive and provide a sense of well being. 

 The enhanced relaxation helps to address insomnia and disrupted sleep patterns, enabling a more restorative sleep. This in turn helps to improve mood and mental health. 

 The gentle massage strokes support the flow of blood and lymphatic fluid, helping to remove toxins and reduce swelling (lymphoedema).

  Oncology Massage complements, rather than replaces, conventional medical treatments, focusing on comfort and quality of life.  

 Massage helps to relieve tension in muscle and therefore can reduce pain.
