Oncology/Cancer

Massage and Oncology (Cancer):

Life Journey Massage offers Oncology (Cancer) Massage, having participated in an intensive training course in Santa Fe, NM. This type of massage specifically takes into account a number of factors and appropriate modifications are made (side-effects or complications of chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, medications; if lymph nodes were removed or treated with radiation, if bone metastases are present). Oncology Massage is for the person "living with cancer", meaning either during treatment or after treatment has ended.

The American Cancer Society has stated that 'No, cancer will not spread in the circulatory or lymphatic systems due to massage', and it also considers massage 'one of the most supportive and helpful complementary therapies available' to patients and views it as helpful both physically and emotionally because "it soothes the soul and the mind."
