The benefits of mastectomy massage are numerous.Massage can relieve post-operative pain and edema, and promote the removal of toxins as it assists in the flow of lymph, blood and oxygen.

Over time, clients of post-op mastectomy massage will experience increased range of motion, reduced scar tissue, restored feeling and sensation by stimulating nerve endings.

The therapist’s intentions and the quality of touch provided can make a world of difference to a client who has experienced a variety of invasive and painful tests and procedures. The intention in post-op mastectomy massage is not to “fix” the client, but to provide love, nurturing, relaxation, and to improve quality of life. As a result, many patients experience a renewed positive body image and may become more aware and reconnected to themselves.
