Caring for Cancer Clients | The Most Clinical Care We Provide

At the Compassion Massage, we understand the difficulties that an individual may endure when being treated for one’s cancer diagnosis. Because of this, our therapists and support staff are focused on providing care and compassion for our clients living with cancer, their caregivers, those who are in remission, and for our survivors by reducing physical and behavioral symptoms that accompany cancer treatment.

According to the Mayo Clinic, one in three patients undergoing cancer treatment experiences cancer-related pain.

Why Choose Compassion Massage for Cancer Care?

At Compassion Massage, we focus on 360° client care. We integrate our services with each client’s overall care plan. This means that we go beyond the treatment of physical symptoms when we tend to our client’s overall well-being. Beyond the basic treatment plan for cancer care, we truly listen to our clients and make note of their individual needs. We are sensitive to the fact that not all individuals facing the fight against cancer experience the same type of pain and sensations, so we accommodate our clients by assessing the specifics of their diagnosis and cancer treatment. We strive to adapt our techniques depending upon our client’s individual needs at the time of care. Clients living with cancer, those in remission, and their caregivers report a significant reduction in:

• Pain
• Fatigue
• Anxiety
• Isolation

In addition to our care services, clients have reported an enhanced body image and sense of well-being while experiencing improvements in their sleep and appetite and many more aspects of one’s life.

A recent meta-analysis of nearly 600 cancer patients found massage therapy significantly reduced pain compared to the conventional standard-of-care alone, and was particularly effective in eradicating surgery-related pain.

Getting started is easy.

Initial Phone Consultation Our massage practitioners spend more time for the initial consultation to learn the specifics about each client’s individual cancer history and treatment. A telephone interview is done before the first scheduled appointment so that our staff can be prepared to meet our clients’ needs.

Develop an Individualized Plan We work with our clients to develop an individualized plan of care specifically tailored to meet specific accommodations and special circumstances.

First Massage The first massage is conducted in comfort at our clinics. Special effort is made to provide maximum comfort, using the bodyCushionTM system (www.bodysupport.com). The bodyCushion is a state-of-the-art positioning system that allows a person to lie in any position without unnecessary pressure on soft tissue areas, ports, or ostomy bags.

If you are living with cancer and would like to experience relief from symptoms during and after your cancer treatment, or if you are a loved one caring for someone living with cancer, contact us today to schedule your initial consultation.
