Stepping into the center is in itself a calming experience. The atmosphere is a respite form the bustle of Braddock Ave. 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 one's relationship to his or her body. Massage introduces a loving touch along with the stress 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 clients figure out when is the best time in your chemo cycle to receive a massage. Massage may help to calm the nerves, to decrease pain, nausea and fatigue and to 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 IVs, drains, skin conditions, edema, and any lymph node or bone involvement).
