Oncology Massage

For many years, having or having had cancer was seen as a contraindication to massage, however, correctly applied massage for someone with cancer is not harmful, it can be incredibly helpful. Having a cancer diagnosis is for most people a traumatic and isolating time with the worry about the prognosis and treatments for the disease taking over the mind and causing extreme stress and anxiety. Massage can provide a profoundly therapeutic touch at this time.  Janine is able to discuss options with you and,  in agreement with your oncologist,  decide when massage is appropriate and determine appropriate massage therapy following an in-depth consultation.
