Oncology Massage: Gentle Care When You Need It Most
A cancer diagnosis brings overwhelming changes—emotionally, physically, and mentally. At LC Beauty & Wellness in Stirling, we understand how important it is to feel safe, seen, and supported during this time. That’s why we offer oncology massage—a specially adapted form of massage therapy designed to meet the unique needs of individuals going through or recovering from cancer treatment.
What Is Oncology Massage?
Oncology massage is a gentle, nurturing treatment tailored to support people at any stage of their cancer journey. Unlike traditional massage, this therapy takes into account the effects of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and ongoing medical treatments, ensuring that the experience is soothing, safe, and supportive.
Why Specialist Training Matters
This isn’t just a softer massage. Oncology massage therapists undergo specialised training to understand:
- How cancer and its treatments affect the body
- Safe techniques and pressure adjustments
- When and where it’s safe to massage
- Contraindications and medical considerations
- How to adapt treatment for fatigue, lymphoedema, ports, PICC lines and more
Therapists are also trained to offer emotional sensitivity and create a calm, respectful environment. At LC Beauty & Wellness, you can trust that you are in safe, experienced hands.
Benefits of Oncology Massage
Research and experience show that oncology massage can help ease both physical and emotional symptoms. Some key benefits include:
💆♀️ Reduced Pain & Muscle Tension
Gentle massage helps relieve aches, tightness, and discomfort often associated with treatment side effects or immobility.
🧠 Lower Stress & Anxiety
Relaxation techniques activate the parasympathetic nervous system, helping to reduce cortisol levels and bring a sense of calm.
😴 Improved Sleep Quality
Clients often report deeper, more restful sleep after treatment.
💛 Emotional Support & Connection
Touch is powerful. Even gentle massage can provide reassurance, reduce feelings of isolation, and help reconnect body and mind.
🫁 Improved Circulation & Lymph Flow
Supporting detoxification and healing by encouraging healthy circulation without overstimulating the system.
Who Can Benefit?
Oncology massage is suitable for those:
- Currently undergoing cancer treatment
- In recovery or remission
- Experiencing long-term effects of cancer or treatment
Treatments are fully adapted to your energy levels and comfort.
