Stepping into the center is in itself a calming experience. The atmosphere is a respite form the bustle of Braddock Ave. Soft-spoken Sarah uses the mighty strength in her heart and hands to dissolve the kinks in my mind and body in a caring, logical way. I leave with a peaceful outlook and a healthier body.
Oncology Massage
Massage therapy can be a wonderful complement to traditional cancer treatments. Living through cancer treatment can prove to be a physically, emotionally and spiritually challenging time. The cancer is treated as an enemy and as a result the body deals with new challenges and hardships. Changes may happen in energy and comfort levels as well as physical appearance. All of these things in addition to feelings of being out of control, depression and frustration can affect someones relationship to their body. Massage introduces a loving touch along with the stress relief and pain relief that may help to heal emotional and physical issues related to cancer treatment.
For those in chemo therapy, our therapists are trained to help you figure out when is best for you in your chemo cycle to receive a massage. It may also help to calm the nerves, decrease pain, nausea and fatigue as well as help reduce other side effects of treatment.
Our therapists are trained to provide individual care to suit the needs of our clients by modifying speed, pressure, positioning, length of session time and site involvement (such as IV’s, drains, skin conditions, edema, and any lymph node or bone involvement).
