Massage Questions
What does oncology-informed massage mean?
It means the therapist considers how cancer and its treatment may affect a person’s comfort and massage needs. Sessions are guided by communication and may be adapted for pressure, positioning, and areas of focus.
Can I book during cancer treatment?
Your circumstances and treatment plan matter. Discuss massage with your healthcare team, then share relevant guidance with the therapist before scheduling. The therapist can talk through comfort, timing, and whether the session approach should be adjusted.
What should I share before my session?
Share your goals, comfort preferences, areas you would like avoided, and any relevant care considerations. You can also mention positioning needs or changes in how you feel. Share only what you are comfortable discussing.
Can I request lighter pressure or changes?
Yes. Tell the therapist what feels comfortable, and speak up if that changes during the session. Pressure, positioning, and areas of focus can be discussed and adjusted to better suit your needs.
Do I need a referral to schedule?
Referral requirements can vary based on your circumstances and the therapist’s policies. Contact Stillwater Oncology Massage to ask what is needed before booking, and check with your healthcare team about massage during your care.
