Specialist Therapy London
Gentle, consultation-led care for oncology massage and lymphatic support.
A specialist treatment pathway for oncology massage, cancer care support and manual lymphatic drainage, delivered with calm communication, adapted pressure and careful attention to your health background.
Home-based appointments in Bermondsey SE1. Mobile visits by request where suitable.
The approach
Specialist treatment should feel careful, respectful and unhurried.
Specialist therapy is for clients who need more considered treatment than a standard massage booking. This may include people affected by cancer, people recovering after treatment, or clients seeking manual lymphatic drainage for swelling, heaviness or lymphatic support.
The work is gentle, adapted and based on a conversation first. Your comfort, health history, treatment stage, medical guidance and personal preferences shape what happens in the session.
Specialist treatments
Two focused services with careful consultation.
01
Oncology Massage & Cancer Care
Gentle, adapted massage for people living with cancer, recovering after cancer treatment or needing supportive touch during a difficult time. Sessions are planned around comfort, fatigue levels, sensitivity, positioning and medical considerations.
02
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Light, rhythmic lymphatic work for clients seeking drainage-focused support. Treatment is gentle and precise, with suitability checked before booking.
03
Consultation & Suitability
Before specialist therapy, we discuss your reason for booking, medical history, current symptoms, treatment stage, medication considerations and any guidance you have received.
04
Comfort-Led Positioning
Treatment can be adapted around energy levels, tenderness, scars, ports, swelling, fatigue, anxiety, mobility and what feels comfortable on the day.
Oncology massage
Supportive touch when the body needs gentleness and respect.
Oncology massage is not about deep pressure or forcing change. It is about adapting massage safely and compassionately so the session can support comfort, relaxation and a better sense of ease.
Important
Please share relevant medical information.
For oncology massage, please share relevant diagnosis, treatment stage, recent surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, lymph node removal, ports, wounds, infection risk, medication and any medical advice you have been given.
Gentle pressure adapted to the person and treatment stage.
Support for stress, fatigue, body discomfort and emotional load.
Careful positioning and pacing throughout the session.
Conversation first, treatment second.
Clear boundaries around when massage may need to be adapted or postponed.
Manual lymphatic drainage
Light, focused lymphatic work for drainage support.
Manual lymphatic drainage uses very light, rhythmic techniques. It is different from deep tissue massage and should feel gentle, precise and calming.
Not deep massage
MLD is intentionally light.
If you are expecting strong pressure, deep muscle release or sports massage, the therapeutic pathway may be a better fit. Manual lymphatic drainage has a different purpose and technique.
Suitable for clients seeking lymphatic support by consultation.
May be considered for heaviness, swelling or drainage-focused care.
Light touch rather than firm muscular pressure.
Session length depends on the area, reason for booking and tolerance.
Contraindications and medical context are checked first.

Is oncology massage safe for everyone with cancer?
It depends on the person, treatment stage and medical context. The session must be adapted carefully, and in some cases medical guidance may be needed before treatment.
Is manual lymphatic drainage painful?
No. Manual lymphatic drainage is very light and should feel gentle, calm and controlled.
Can I book if I have swelling after surgery?
Please enquire first and share relevant medical details. Suitability depends on the cause of swelling, stage of healing, infection risk and medical guidance.
