ONCOLOGY MASSAGE
★★★★★
“It helps me so much with the aches and discomfort from my cancer treatment. It also helps to slow down my thoughts, especially before going for treatment. It's been good to find a therapist who understands about cancer and how it affects me.”
Client feedback
Gentle, nurturing support for people affected by cancer
Cancer and its treatment can affect many aspects of life, both physically and emotionally. There are times when having a quiet space to relax, be cared for and simply focus on yourself can be incredibly valuable.
At Connecting Therapies, I offer gentle, adapted oncology massage and supportive wellbeing treatments, taking into consideration each person’s individual circumstances, treatment and comfort.
My approach is centred around you as an individual. The aim is not to treat cancer, but to provide a calming and nurturing experience that can support relaxation, comfort and overall wellbeing alongside your medical care.
A Gentle Approach
Oncology massage is adapted to the individual and may be suitable for people who are living with cancer, undergoing treatment or recovering from treatment.
Depending on your circumstances, treatments can include gentle massage to areas such as the hands, arms, feet, legs, shoulders or back.
Your comfort and safety are always the priority. Before any treatment, we will have a conversation about your health, treatment and how you are feeling, so that the therapy can be appropriately adapted for you.
Supporting the Whole Person
Through my professional experience supporting people affected by cancer, I understand that cancer can affect much more than the physical body. It can influence confidence, emotions, relationships, independence and everyday life.
Sometimes, having time away from appointments and treatments to simply relax and receive some nurturing care can be an important part of looking after yourself.
My aim is to provide a calm, respectful and supportive environment where you can take some time for yourself.
