Compassionate Touch for Every Phase of the Cancer Journey

 

At InnerFlow Lymphatics, oncology support sessions are more than just bodywork—they are a safe space for rest, relief, and reconnection.

Whether you’re in active treatment, recently out of it, or navigating survivorship, our Oncology Support sessions are adapted to meet your specific needs with care, presence, and gentle therapeutic intention.

Led by Joanne Castro, CLT, PTA, LMT—with advanced training in lymphatic therapy, craniosacral work, and oncology massage—each session is customized to provide a nurturing pause in the midst of a challenging time.

 

What Is Oncology Massage?

 

Oncology Massage is a specialized approach that adapts traditional massage techniques to safely work with individuals affected by cancer and cancer treatment. It considers:

​

• Medical history and current treatment plan

• Lymph node involvement or removal

• Port sites, radiation sensitivity, and bone density changes

• Fatigue, pain, and immune considerations

 

Touch is modified in pressure, positioning, and timing to promote relaxation, reduce symptoms, and honor your body’s current state.

 

Benefits of Oncology Massage:

​​

• Decreased pain, nausea, fatigue, and anxiety

• Improved sleep, mood, and emotional resilience

• Gentle support for lymph flow and detoxification

• Increased sense of safety, connection, and inner calm

• Help reconnect to the body with gentleness after trauma or surgery
