Oncology Massage

Massage For Oncology Patients At Home, Hospice, or Assisted-Living Facility in Central and Northern New Jersey and NYC.

Oncology Massage provides compassionate touch to patients, helping with nausea, depression, fatigue, and pain. Even when family members are there to care, Therapeutic Massage has its place. We encourage family members to touch, hold hands, and even massage their family member who's become an oncology patient; this helps in so many ways, besides keeping the person feeling connected.

Mountainside On-Site Massage Therapy provides trained and Certified Licensed Massage Therapists to the homes, hospices, assisted-living facilities,and nursing homes of oncology patients, throughout the state of New Jersey, along with New York City. Our Oncology LMTs are trained to deal with the specifics of working with this population, and have been educated on the topic of Oncology Massage, earning a Certificate.

Generally, Massage for Cancer patients is gentle and soft, though the client may instruct the therapist otherwise, and deliver a deeper session. The LMT and the patient will work together to establish what is most helpful: what modalities and at what pressure. Our Oncology Massage Massage Therapists know that their patients are not at their strongest, and perform their massage sessions accordingly.

Our carefully selected, hand-chosen Oncology Therapists are well versed in side-effects and issues such as infection, surgeries, chemotherapy side effects, radiotion therapy side effects, transplants and immune modulation, lymphedema, and reduced mental and/or physical function associated with the condition or anything related.

The therapists also know that every kind of cancer is different, and sometimes present various difficulties among different people. No broad-brush technquqe works here; our Oncology LMTs tailor-suit their sessions, as they would for any cleint, but with specific attention to the symptomology and facts of each patient.
