Massage therapy can be used to help individuals relax and reduce stress, to therapeutically enhance immune function or to support overall health. At the Menen Centre for Optimum Health we work with patients to individualize massage therapy treatments to ensure that this is a safe and therapeutic option for care. Stress, insomnia, lymphedema, pain and many other symptoms are safely addressed through our massage treatments.
Oncology massage is a growing field in the massage therapy community. A trained therapist conducts a full assessment and explains the potential risks and benefits of massage therapy at the various stages of cancer treatment. They will also suggest treatment options and explain whether they are indicated or contraindicated. It has been observed through research that massage therapy can help with symptom relief of pain, nausea, fatigue, anxiety and depression when performed by a massage therapist with experience in the oncology field.
