& Touch Therapy

This service aims to relieve pain and discomfort, while reducing the symptoms and side effects associated with cancer and/or cancer treatments.Utilizing relaxing lymphatic massage therapy, which encourages a specific direction of lymph flow to support the lymphatic system, and a light to medium touch, this is the safest and most supportive massage therapy available to oncology patients during and after their treatment, reducing the risk of developing further complications that may arise from ordinary massage therapy practices.Each service is tailored to the individual, their age and stage of life, treatment plans, and medical history.**This is is the safest massage therapy for oncology patients (present or in remission).**This service pairs perfectly with Oncology Manual Lymph Drainage.

Oncology Manual
Lymphatic drainage

MLD is a gentle soothing therapy that encourages the lymphatic system (aka: waste removal system) to flow freely. This eliminates excess fluids and toxins from the body more easily, quickly, and efficiently to increase circulation and detoxification, reduce swelling, improve metabolism, and boost the immune system to support overall balance and natural healing.Oncology patients who have had lymph nodes removed are at risk of developing Lymphedema, a life long chronic disease, for which there is no cure. It is important to receive regular Manual Lymph Drainage to keep the lymph fluid flowing easily throughout the body.Oncology patients who have had surgery may benefit from Manual Lymph Drainage, as it speeds up the healing process by reducing swelling, fluid retention, and bruising, and increases the removal of cell wastes from the traumatized area. MLD also reduces scar formation and the build up of fibrotic nodules (hard lumps), improves skin texture and tone by boosting healing, and decreases the risk of infection by improving the immune response.**This service pairs perfectly with Oncology Massage & Touch Therapy.
