Oncology Massage

Cancer treatment affects more than just the body – it can leave behind exhaustion, pain, anxiety, and a changed relationship with touch. At Advance SRM Therapies, we offer specialist oncology massage to help people living with or beyond cancer feel more supported, grounded, and physically at ease.

Whether you’re in active treatment, in recovery, or years past diagnosis, you’re welcome here.

This isn’t spa massage. It’s gentle, adaptive, and clinically informed support for people navigating a very real physical journey.

Clients seek oncology massage for support with:

  • Cancer treatment fatigue and body heaviness
  • Muscular tension, tightness, or postural pain
  • Sleep disruption or restlessness
  • Anxiety or physical agitation
  • Neuropathy or tingling sensations
  • A safe way to reconnect with their body after treatment

We work carefully, adapting pressure, pace, and positioning based on your medical background, energy levels, and comfort.

We work with people:

  • Currently undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or hormone treatment
  • Recovering from surgery (e.g. lumpectomy, mastectomy, abdominal surgery)
  • In long-term remission with residual symptoms
  • Managing treatment side effects like fatigue, pain, or scarring
  • With secondary or palliative needs seeking gentle support

If you’re living with tightness, numbness, or discomfort around surgical scars, we also offer specialist Scar Tissue Therapy (link) – a gentle, external treatment designed to help improve mobility and comfort after surgery.

If you’re unsure whether massage is safe for you, we’re happy to talk things through – and consult with your medical team if needed.

We understand that every cancer experience is different. That’s why we take the time to listen, adapt, and meet you where you are – physically, emotionally, and practically.

  • Trained in oncology massage and clinical adaptation
  • Respectful, trauma-aware care – with full choice at every stage
  • Gentle, flexible positioning (seated, side-lying, or reclined)

Time to talk, rest, or just be – we understand that some days are harder than others – your comfort is our priority, not how you “show up.”

Client's Questions Answered

Is massage safe if I’m having treatment?

In most cases, yes – with appropriate adjustments. Oncology massage avoids deep pressure, works around port sites, scars, and swelling, and is tailored to your needs. We may ask for GP or consultant clearance if you’re under active medical care.

Sessions are calm, unhurried, and adapted fully to how you’re feeling. We’ll discuss what’s comfortable for you – and you can pause or stop at any time.

Yes, once wounds are healed. We can work gently around scars or radiation areas using non-invasive techniques.

We understand. You can reschedule without penalty – and we’re happy to adjust session length or pace if needed.

Yes. We regularly work with clients who have stomas. We’ll position you comfortably, work around the site, and adapt the session to suit you. Just let us know when you book so we can plan ahead.

Not always, but if you’re currently undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy, we may ask you to check with your medical team first. This is to make sure we tailor the session safely – not to create a barrier.

Absolutely. We’ll avoid the area entirely and adapt positioning and pressure accordingly. Many of our oncology clients have lines or ports in place during treatment – it’s something we’re experienced in working around.

Yes. Many clients come to us months or years after treatment for ongoing tension, fatigue, scar discomfort, or simply because they value the safe, adaptive approach. There’s no expiry on when this support is helpful.

Wear whatever’s comfortable – we’ll work around clothing, medical devices, or dressings as needed. You don’t need to prepare anything. Just come as you are.

Supportive touch, grounded in clinical skill.
If you’re navigating cancer treatment or recovery, and want gentle, clinically safe support that adapts to you, we’re here to help.

Located in Clanfield. Supporting people from Petersfield, Horndean, Waterlooville & across Hampshire.

Testimonials

Real Feedback, Real Results

"The team at Advance SRM are amazing. Both Jo and John have helped our entire family with acute and chronic problems.
Both my daughters are competitive dancers and the team have gone above and beyond to help them recover and manage injury and get them back dancing. This includes John strapping my daughter to make sure she could safely dance ahead of an international competition.
Jo has helped immensely for myself with post breast cancer recuperation and regained so much movement while reducing pain - she has undone years of damage! She also is a whizz at alleviating migraine tension.
Jess has been incredibly supportive of our fundraising efforts to help our local team represent England at international World Dance Championships.
Cannot recommend the team highly enough, and on top of all the great therapeutic services they provide, they are also involved with various local community groups."
Caroline Findley
"As a fitness teacher I would only recommend Advance SRM. John & his teams knowledge of anatomy & biomechanics is outstanding, I learn something new every time.
Add a lovely building with free parking & friendly staff gives it my 5 stars."
Victoria Crees
"I can thoroughly recommend Advance SRM Therapies in terms of the excellent care provided and the professionalism and kindness of my therapist, Jo. I went to her in excruciating pain from sciatica, and she diagnosed and treated the cause over a number of weeks. She has also followed up to make sure I am still well, and given me exercises to do to prevent it reoccurring. I have recommended SRM to others, without hesitation."
Marion Lee
"My Son has Cerebral Palsy and John has been treating him for several years now. John has a very calm way about him, my Son also has Autism so sessions don't always go to plan but John adapts quickly and gets the best out of each session. He always explains things in simple terms and I have found his advice to be invaluable over the years. He has been and will continue to be, an important part of my Son's physical progress."
Jason Whitlock
"I visited Jo for a Scar Tissue Therapy after having my second c-section. After the first few sessions I could already see dramatic improvement in the appearance of my scar but the true test was when I returned to competitive swimming where I had previously (after my first c-section) suffered a lot of pain across my lower abdomen and behind my scar. Jo had explained how scar tissue can attach to muscle and demonstrated selection of massage techniques for me to try at home. This was fantastic. Then a year later I returned for more advice alongside another scar tissue treatment where she introduced the silicone cupping along the scar to loosen the scar tissue from the abdominal muscles that had finally repaired themselves. I was sold! I bought some cups there and then and haven’t looked back! I cannot recommend Jo enough! And John’s videos online are ALWAYS so helpful if you’re ever unsure or want to try a bit of tlc at home! Thank you team!"
Gemma Dobbin
"I have been seeing John for over 7 years now. I have multiple health issues and injuries, and John (in conjunction with my personal trainer) has managed to keep me mobile despite all the challenges my body has thrown him over the years. I see John every month, and it has honestly been a life changer. Highly recommend Advance SRM."
Ruth Lewis
"I've been seeing Jo for pregnancy and post natal treatments for 2 years and would highly recommend her to anyone in the same position. Jo takes the time to understand what is needed from each session - whether that's general relaxation or working on specific issues like PGP and sending across management plans between our appointments."
