Few people know that oncology massage is a therapy being offered to cancer patients and their families in and around the Geelong region and that there are many benefits that oncology massage provides during and after diagnosis and treatment. The Geelong community now has a group of health professionals specifically trained in oncology massage therapy who are ready to assist and support those diagnosed with cancer. Research has shown that benefits of oncology massage therapy include: · Reduced pain associated with cancer and its treatments; · Increased serotonin, dopamine, natural killer cells and lymphocytes; · Reduced nausea; · Reduced fatigue; · Reduced stress and anxiety; · Inducing relaxation and improved sleep; · Help to alleviate anxiety and depression; · Assisting with improved memory and positive effects on cognition; and · Contributing to an improved sense of wellbeing. It is important for the community to know that oncology massage can be delivered alongside chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Oncology massage is a gentle and non-invasive intervention which can be modified to the specific needs of the patient. The Cancer Council recognises oncology massage therapists in their Massage and Cancer brochure and oncology massage therapists are also listed on the Oncology Massage Training website, www.oncologymassagetraining.com.au. This team of caring and sensitive massage professionals is available to discuss any questions and concerns that patients or their families may have regarding the service being offered.
