“The Penny Brohn Cancer Care supports massage as safe and beneficial therapy, for those with cancer, when practised by a therapist with appropriate experience and/or training.
People with cancer who have had a massage said they found it relaxing and it gave them a sense of relief. Research suggests that it may help to reduce pain, depression and anxiety.”

Completion of a consultation is required prior to undergoing massage treatment. There are a couple of reasons why treatment may not be possible, but in most cases, treatment can be adapted to suit the individual.
Aromatherapy can also be incorporated into your treatment, as appropriate.
Treatment can either be carried out in your preferred position, which brings you most comfort e.g. lying on your back, tummy or side, supported with cushions.
Alternatively, a Hydrotherm Tranquil Sea 3D massage, allows you to remain lying, on your back, on warm water filled cushions, throughout the massage, with no need for turning; thus facilitating ultimate relaxation. Click here for more information on Hydrotherm.
