Reiki and Oncology Massage for Cancer: Natural Relief for Pain, Fatigue & Emotional Stress
How Gentle Therapies Can Provide Comfort, Relief, and Emotional Support During Cancer Treatment
Cancer treatment is often overwhelming—physically, mentally, and emotionally. From chemotherapy and radiation to the emotional toll of a diagnosis, patients are navigating intense terrain. Fortunately, holistic therapies like Reiki and oncology massage offer powerful support to ease this journey.
At One Healing Touch Reiki & Massage (OHT), we specialize in creating safe, nurturing environments for those facing health challenges. Whether you’re in treatment, recovery, or remission, gentle therapies can help you reconnect with your body and restore a sense of peace.
Why Reiki and Massage Matter for Cancer Care
Reiki is a light-touch energy therapy that helps the body activate its natural healing processes. It promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and creates a deep sense of calm and emotional ease.
Oncology massage is a specialized technique adapted for the needs of cancer patients. When administered by a trained therapist, it can offer meaningful relief and support at every stage of treatment.
The Research Speaks
A 2019 study published in Integrative Cancer Therapies found that Reiki significantly reduced pain, anxiety, and fatigue in cancer patients after just one session.
According to the Society for Oncology Massage, more than 88% of patients report feeling less pain and improved mood after oncology massage.
Research in Supportive Care in Cancer found that massage therapy can improve immune function and reduce cortisol levels, a stress hormone linked to inflammation and slower healing.
How Reiki and Oncology Massage Support Healing
Patients often experience:
Reduced fatigue and improved energy levels
Relief from nausea, especially during chemotherapy
Better sleep and improved emotional balance
A decrease in anxiety, fear, and isolation
Greater connection to their bodies and a sense of empowerment
As clients begin to regain strength, massage and energy work also help restore body image, confidence, and self-esteem—essential elements often affected during and after treatment.
When Can Patients Receive These Services?
Massage and Reiki can be safely offered during:
Hospital stays
Before or after surgeries
During chemotherapy or radiation
Recovery and remission
Our gentle, intuitive sessions are always tailored to your comfort and guided by clear communication and medical considerations.
What Makes Oncology Massage Different?
Oncology massage isn’t just a lighter massage. It’s a highly specialized modality performed by professionals who understand cancer’s effects on the body and the necessary precautions involved—like avoiding certain pressure points, surgical sites, or lymphatic areas affected by treatment.
At OHT, Adriane is trained in providing compassionate, trauma-informed care for women in high-stress situations, including those managing or recovering from cancer.
Compassionate Touch Matters
A cancer diagnosis often leads to feelings of fear, grief, and loss of control. Therapeutic touch helps restore a sense of safety and dignity. It supports emotional well-being and creates space for healing beyond the physical.
