Massage Therapy

Gentle, targeted support for healing, recovery, and wellbeing

Massage therapy is a time-honoured and evidence-informed practice that helps restore balance to the body and mind. At Restore Oncology Care, our massage services are tailored to support people at all stages of life—including those affected by cancer, chronic pain, injury, or fatigue.

Whether you’re seeking relief from tension, support through cancer treatment, or recovery after surgery, our trained massage therapist, Michelle, will work with you to create a personalised treatment plan suited to your body’s needs.

Oncology Massage

Supportive touch for individuals undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment

Oncology Massage is a specialised, gentle form of massage therapy designed specifically for people with a current or past cancer diagnosis. Michelle is trained in safe, modified techniques that consider the effects of cancer and its treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation.

Oncology Massage can help:

  • Reduce anxiety and stress
  • Relieve pain and muscular tension
  • Improve sleep and relaxation
  • Support lymphatic and immune function
  • Ease treatment side effects (e.g. fatigue, nausea, joint stiffness)
  • Provide nurturing touch during a vulnerable time

Each session is customised with safety and comfort as the priority, and Michelle will work closely with your clinical team if needed to ensure massage complements your treatment plan.

Remedial Massage

Therapeutic support for pain, injury, and dysfunction

Remedial Massage is a targeted treatment aimed at addressing musculoskeletal injuries, postural imbalances, and chronic pain. Michelle draws on years of hands-on experience to assess your symptoms, identify the underlying cause, and use specific techniques to restore movement and ease discomfort.

Remedial massage is ideal for:

  • Back, neck, and shoulder pain
  • Sports or workplace injuries
  • Tension headaches and tight muscles
  • Postural issues and joint stiffness
  • Chronic pain conditions

Your treatment will be tailored to your symptoms, and techniques may include deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and stretching.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Gentle, rhythmical therapy to reduce swelling and support immune health

Lymphatic drainage massage is a specialised technique that stimulates the flow of lymph fluid in the body. This supports detoxification, immune function, and fluid regulation.

It can be particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing:

  • Lymphoedema or post-surgical swelling
  • Chronic fluid retention (oedema)
  • Immune system challenges
  • Inflammatory conditions such as arthritis
  • Fatigue, detox support, or general sluggishness

Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage:

  • Reduces swelling and puffiness
  • Enhances immune function
  • Promotes detoxification
  • Supports post-surgical healing
  • Decreases inflammation
  • Encourages deep relaxation

This technique requires a trained, certified therapist. Michelle has the specialised skills and knowledge to perform lymphatic massage safely and effectively, applying the light, rhythmic pressure needed to activate lymphatic flow without overstimulating the tissues.
