According to Kathy Platt, MS, LMT, HHP, an adept massage practitioner can greatly reduce pain, spasms, and lymph build-up associated with mastectomies. Many women complain of these conditions after surgery, or after tissue 
expanders have been implanted. A massage therapist trained in medical massage or massage for cancer patients will know how to exactly pinpoint the source of the pain and release it. The therapist can also locate chronic spasms and gently soothe and release them, and help them not return. A massage therapist trained in lymph drainage will be able to release the pressure and discomfort of lymph fluid build-up and ease suffering in this way. Loosening restrictive scar tissue can help to soothe inflammation. And a massage therapist trained in emotional release can help identify emotional stresses and patterns caught in the tissue and help this release, which eases the mind as well as the body, and greatly helps balance biochemical processes. Are you going through the journey that cancer creates? Would this not be the best time to experience soothing and nurturing massage…
