Light Touch / Oncology Massage
Light Touch / Oncology Massage.
These tailored therapies are particularly suitable for delicate skin, frail constitutions, people recovering from or living with major illness. They are appropriate for the elderly, the bereaved, and helpful for the common side effects of cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Light Touch /Oncology Massage is offered with rejuvenation and deep relaxation in mind, to restore, lift and improve the flow of energy and nutrients to the body, face and scalp.
Infection control,
High standards of hygiene are really important while undergoing medical/oncology treatments, and my cross infection control qualification informs practice at The Haven. Please talk to me about any particular concerns you may have, before your first appointment.
What to expect,
The Jennifer Young Defiant Beauty products used are designed to be safe for anyone currently undergoing treatment for cancer, while targeting skin concerns caused by chemo and radiotherapy.
The ingredients have been chosen with regeneration and rejuvenation in mind. They are 100% plant based , and free from phytoestrogens.
Specialist massage techniques will be used, including gentle acupressure and soothing massage with very light touch, appropriate for sensitive, delicate skin.
Acupressure plasters are applied on specific areas to enhance the benefits of the treatment and alleviate the concerns further, continuing your relaxation journey.
Making you comfortable, adapted treatments,
The massage techniques used will be adapted for each person, so that your individual needs are met. In some cases, a seated massage may be most appropriate, or a shorter massage time. Hickman and PICC lines as well as Portacath and stoma/colostomy bags can all be accommodated. If you would like to discuss treatment positions, modifications and comfort, please contact me for a confidential discussion before booking.
