Oncology massage
Oncology massage is a compassionate and specialised form of massage therapy designed to cater to the unique needs of individuals navigating cancer treatment or recovery.
I offer Oncology massage that can support the physical and emotional well-being of cancer patients and their families. If you’d like to explore how oncology massage might support you or a loved one—whether through in-person sessions, home visits, or hospice care—I’d be happy to discuss how I can be of assistance.
Having trained under the guidance of Oncology Massage Education Specialist , Susan Findlay, I work alongside Oncology teams to provide massage that is safe and effective.
The benefits of oncology massage can include:
Helping to counterbalance the stress of illness and treatment
Promoting deeper, more relaxed breathing
Inducing a sense of gentle relaxation and calm stillness
Enhancing joint flexibility and circulation
Easing muscle tension and pain through relaxation of muscles and nerve endings
Strengthening the immune system, calming the adrenals, and promoting endorphin release
Offering precious moments of 'me time'
Providing a safe space to express emotions, concerns, and fears
Supporting a more positive outlook or acceptance of the situation through relaxation, and helping with depression and sleep improvement
Assisting clients in reconnecting with their bodies after surgery
Empowering individuals through self-care and self-treatment
What People Are Saying
“Dorito was fabulous. Before the session I was a bit tense, during the session I was so relaxed…he was super professional and did a great job of releasing the tension especially in my neck. He was also super knowledgeable and explained the aftercare.”
— Rayanne (22)
“Dorito is very professional and friendly. He really helped ease my upper back and neck pain from computer work and carrying my child around. He even gave me some exercises to help in the future, highly recommended!”
— Nadia (40)
“As a new mum, I was feeling the strain of lifting and carrying a baby. After my massage with Dorito, I feel much more free and able to carry my son. I was consulted throughout on pressure applied, and Dorito was super respectful of our home.”
