Oncology Massage Programs
Massage can safely be provided for people with cancer, and bodywork therapies are increasingly being used to help manage treatment related side effects and to improve quality of life during cancer treatment, recovery, and in support of survivor wellness.
That being said, good intentions on the part of the attending therapist are simply said not enough and considered essential is proper preparation in oncology massage education.
Being Oncology Massage accredited means the massage therapist, esthetician, or mani/pedi therapist has the ability to recognize and work within a framework of clinical considerations, in order to provide safe and effective bodywork, and meet the unique and changing needs of the person in, or with a history of, cancer treatment.
Greet The Day Programs are offered as complement to medical care, are unique in Orange County, CA, and are provided by licensed, Oncology Massage accredited, massage therapists, aestheticians, and mani/pedi therapists.
Even in the years after recovery, especially where lymph nodes were affected during cancer treatment, there will always be bodywork adjustments that need to be taken into consideration.
