Cancer Care Massage

Cancer care massage is a Touch therapy which includes specific adjusments to modify standard massage to Oncology massage, a type of massage developed specifically for cancer patients.

Cancer care massage promotes relaxation, reducing stress physically & emotionally which may be associated with the side effects that often occur during cancer treatments such as Chemotherapy and/ or radiation. The side effects eased may include lethargy, nausea, peripheral neuropathy, skin conditions & constipation to name but a few.
So if you are preparing for cancer surgery, or are currently undergoing radiation and or chemotherapy I can help support & restore balance to your body.I use a specifically formulated skin care line in the treatment called Lindi Skin from the US.

Each treatment will be tailored to how you are feeling on that specific day. The session may include a selection of the following, a rejuvenating facial, neck & shoulder massage, hot stone massage, body massage, foot & leg massage and/or hand massage. I also combine Reiki healing into the treatment to enhance the relaxation.

A treatment programme is advised, however I would recommend that you come and have the initial treatment, which lasts 90min and includes a short consultation to begin with and experience first hand the positive & relaxing effect of this unique massage during or in preparation for your cancer treatment.

Here is some feedback from one of my clients after her initial treatment:
"I've just had the most amazing treatment with Ruth, and feel like I'm walking on air. Having just finished a six month programme of Chemotherapy, it was a welcome relief to treat myself to the Cancer Care Massage. An hour and a half of true relaxation and an escape from the side effects that go with having chemo. I plan on now visiting her regularly. Ruth has truly healing hands and I would recommend her to anyone."
