Frequently Asked Questions

Is this massage safe during chemotherapy or radiotherapy?
It can be, but it depends on where you are in treatment and how you are feeling. The online consultation is used to tailor pressure, positioning and areas to avoid, and you may be asked to seek medical clearance in some situations.
What happens in the online consultation?
You will share relevant information about your treatment, symptoms, medications, skin sensitivity, and any devices such as a port or PICC line. This allows the session to be planned around comfort, consent and safety, with clear boundaries on what will and will not be worked on.
Do I need approval from my oncologist or GP before booking?
Not always, but sometimes it is recommended, especially after recent surgery, with blood clot risk, low platelets, active infection, or bone fragility concerns. If clearance is needed, you will be told what information to request so it is straightforward.
Can you work around scars, ports, or lymph node removal?
Yes, the massage can be adapted to avoid or carefully work around sensitive areas, depending on healing stage and your comfort. Deep pressure is not used over vulnerable areas, and positioning can be changed to reduce strain.
What should I expect to feel after the massage?
Most people feel calmer, looser through the back and more settled in their breathing. Mild tiredness can happen, so plan a quieter rest of day if you can, and contact a healthcare professional if you notice anything unusual or worrying.
