Hi my name is Joan! I am a massage therapist and also certified for oncology and mastectomy massages. Individuals who are anticipating oncology treatments, those undergoing cancer treatment and the many persons who completed the specific protocols for oncology interventions benefit from the massage developed for each phase of treatment/recovery. The benefits for the person receiving oncology/mastectomy massage are many and specific for that person. Literature and anecdotal evidence have demonstrated that the nurturing massage techniques have relieved muscle soreness, increased blood circulation, increased relaxation, increased alertness, improved sleep, provided pain relief, decreased symptoms related to cancer and decreased anxiety/depression.
There are many other benefits. I would be happy to address your questions/concerns, if you are considering this modality. It is my hope that I can assist you, through this massage, to realize your maximum potential in your recovery and determination to restore yourself to a peaceful, healthy state.
