Massage can help with

Massage can help improve quality of life for those with long-term conditions who may be dealing with pain and frustration on a daily basis.
Massage may help even in the context of cancer and other difficult medical diagnosis. We want to work with you to find a way forward, so if you do have undiagnosed lumps or bumps or an existing cancer diagnosis or other complicating diagnosis, please provide written medical clearance from your healthcare provider for this service. We specifically want to know what is to be avoided and what to be mindful of in addition to what type of manual therapy is recommended.
