FAQs
More info on oncology massage
Cancer can affect your body in a number of ways that need handling by a specialist massage therapist. This might include having weaker muscles, more delicate bones, heart problems or arthritis, or sensitive spots where you’ve recently had radiotherapy.
No – We advise you to wait 24 hours after a chemotherapy treatment to get a massage. Also, if you’ve been prescribed steroids, check it’s okay with your doctor or medical practitioner first.
For the massage table (that your therapist will bring) you’ll need about 2x3m of floor space. That’s about the size of a yoga mat, with enough space to walk around the edge.
It's understandable to be concerned about this, but rest assured there’s no scientific evidence to suggest massages cause cancer to spread to other parts of the body. Macmillan Cancer Support recommend areas to avoid during oncology massage, which your therapist will also be aware of.
