Oncology Massage – Now Available at Revelstoke Wellness

Beth has completed specialized training in oncology massage, offering a thoughtful, refined approach tailored to different stages of recovery, healing, and beyond. This includes safely adapting massage techniques for individuals undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, and post-surgery care.

Tralee’s approach to cancer patients goes beyond massage to include her naturopathic training that provides education around detoxification, dietary supplementation, herbal therapy, lifestyle counseling, manipulative therapies, nutrition and support.

With a skilled and compassionate approach, this specialized massage provides the reassurance and comfort needed during challenging times. It can help manage pain, support scar and fibrosis treatment, reduce post-surgical swelling, and address issues like neuropathy, lymphedema, postural changes, and overall well-being.

Recent reports show that 2 in 5 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer within the year. However, with survivorship on the rise, it’s more important than ever to focus on enhancing quality of life during recovery and beyond.
