Made for the changes you’re feeling
Cancer and its treatments can leave your body feeling different, tired, sore or tense. Whether you’re dealing with stiffness, anxiety, poor sleep or treatment-related discomfort, a skilled oncology therapist can help guide you toward gentle relief and deeper calm – even when things feel tough.
This isn’t one-size-fits-all care. It’s tailored, thoughtful and respectful of your unique journey, at any stage of your treatment.
Eases tension and stress
Gentle massage strokes and expert handling help soften tight muscles and ease mental tension, giving you space to breathe and relax.
Supports physical and emotional wellbeing
Helps reduce fatigue, anxiety and discomfort – supporting you through both treatment and recovery.
Adapted to your needs and comfort
From light touch to moderate pressure, your therapist will work within what feels safe and supportive for you – no one else’s way but yours.
After your consultation, your Urban pro will check in on how you’re feeling and what you’d like from your session.
During the massage, they’ll use light-to-moderate pressure – either full body or focused on specific areas – always guided by your comfort and needs. Your wellbeing is the most important thing, so your therapist will encourage you to speak up about pressure, temperature or anything else that matters to you.
You’re in safe, caring hands. All oncology therapists on Urban are specially trained, professionally insured and experienced at adjusting their approach to meet health changes and sensitivities.

FAQs
Learn more about oncology massage
Oncology massage is a specialist version of massage. Cancer and treatment can affect your body in unique ways – like weaker muscles, tender spots, bone sensitivity or circulation changes. Your pro adapts their approach accordingly, using extra care, gentler pressure and avoiding areas that need protection.
We recommend waiting at least 24 hours after chemotherapy before booking a session. If you’re on steroids or in an intense phase of treatment, check first with your medical team 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.
That’s understandably a worry, but there isn’t any evidence that suggests massage can spread cancer. Sources like Macmillan Cancer Support confirm that avoided areas – like lymph nodes or radiation zones – can be protected safely during treatment. Your Urban therapist will be well-versed in this approach.
It’s safest to continue booking specialist oncology massage until your doctor gives you the go-ahead to return to standard treatments. Whether you’ve just had the all-clear or you’re still in recovery, there’s no one-size-fits-all timeline – every body, and every recovery, is different.
Some therapies may ask for a doctor’s note or confirmation of full remission before treating you, but your comfort and safety always come first.
If you’re unsure, sticking with oncology massage means you’ll still get all the calming, tension-relieving benefits – with the added reassurance of tailored care and specialist training.
