Massage Therapy is a vital tool in the fight against cancer. Therapeutic touch is the oldest medicine and in today’s world is being integrated more and more with conventional medicine’s approach to treating this challenging disease.
Oncology massage is a specialty requiring education and advanced study so therapists can treat clients effectively and safely. One of our goals at S4OM is to provide access to that education and support for those that perform this work.
Research has shown that massage therapy performed by trained practitioners can reduce many of the negative symptoms associated with cancer and the various conventional forms of treatment. Patients who receive massage report an improvement in self-image, decrease in pain, improved sleep and positive change in negative side effects of treatment like peripheral neuropathy.
