Oncology Massage
Massage therapist, Cathie Grzeczka, is a specialist in therapeutic and medical-massage
Oncology massage differs from typical massage, as it requires more background information and assessment of your medical history in order to implement the appropriate level of pressure and movement for your individual body. Generally, you can expect our oncology massage to be gentler with slower, steadier bodywork.

-
Reduce headaches
-
Combat neuropathy (numbness)
-
Reduce nausea

Decrease chronic pain
-
Alleviate stress and anxiety

According to the Society for Oncology Massage:
"An oncology massage is a client-specific, customized massage session designed to meet the unique and changing needs of someone in treatment for cancer or with a history of cancer treatment. A safe massage plan generally revolves around the side effects (both short- and long-term) of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. Oncology massage should only be performed by a licensed massage therapist who is specially trained in oncology massage. Please consult your healthcare practitioner before scheduling an oncology massage."
