Oncology Massage
Master Massage Therapist Lynn Kemmer is trained and certified to meet your cancer health needs. Lynn's nursing background ensures you receive a safe, effective massage designed specifically to your unique needs.
Oncology Massage is a gentle type of massage for cancer treatments, lymph node removal and surgery. Oncology massage encourages the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues back toward the heart. A study of the effects of massage therapy on almost 1300 people with cancer over three years found massage therapy reduces pain, nausea, fatigue, anxiety and depression. The benefits last longer in the patients who have a 60-minute session.
