The Healing Touch Of Oncology Massage
The National Cancer Institute promotes the concept of the "healing touch" - a type of complementary and alternative medicine based on the belief that vital energy flows through the human body. Many of our Richmond oncology massage clients - and their doctors - will tell you that a relaxing massage has been an important part of their healing process while battling cancer.
Oncology massage and healing touch can help patients through their cancer journey - from the earliest point of diagnosis to well beyond the end of their treatments. Whether you've just been diagnosed, are in the middle of your radiation and chemotherapy treatments, or are looking for compassion and comfort during end-of-life care, Nirvana Bodywork is passionate about helping people improve their quality of life through the healing touch of oncology massage.

Oncology massage utilizes gentle touch and slow and steady movements and works in conjunction with the patient's central nervous system to aid in relaxation.
