Oncology Massage Therapy in Milton, FL
Safe, compassionate massage adapted for cancer patients at every stage.
What this care is
A focused starting point for your goals.
Oncology massage is a specialized form of massage therapy adapted to the unique and changing needs of someone in treatment for cancer or with a history of cancer. At Coastal Medical Massage in Milton, FL, our oncology massage is provided by a therapist trained specifically in oncology techniques, with careful attention to safety, comfort, and dignity.
Cancer and its treatments — chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery — affect the body in ways that require thoughtful adjustments to massage. Pressure, positioning, duration, and areas of focus are all customized to your current condition. The goal is to provide comfort, reduce stress, and improve quality of life without adding strain to a body that is already working hard to heal.

Before and during your visit
What to expect
- Your therapist will take a thorough health history, including your diagnosis, treatments, medications, and any precautions from your oncology team. This allows us to adapt the session safely — for example, adjusting pressure near surgical sites or areas affected by lymph node removal.
- Sessions are gentle and fully tailored to how you feel that day. Some clients want a shorter session; others want focused comfort for a specific area. We move at your pace and check in throughout.
- We coordinate with your care when needed and always prioritize your safety and comfort over technique. Our intention is to support you, not to overwhelm an already taxed system.
