Fighting Cancer Together

If you are suffering from any type of cancer, please reach out to AJ Bodywork at 435-215-6346. We have helped many people find relief from cancer and treatment symptoms.

Lymphatic drainage is connected to cancer through the body’s immune response and the effects of cancer treatment. When lymph nodes are removed or damaged during surgery or radiation, lymph fluid can accumulate and cause lymphedema, or swelling. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized, gentle massage technique that helps move this excess fluid toward functioning lymph nodes. It can reduce swelling and aid recovery following procedures such as breast cancer surgery or radiation therapy, but it should only be performed by properly trained therapists.

Craniosacral Therapy for cancer patients involves gentle touch to relieve stress, pain, anxiety, and improve sleep, potentially enhancing quality of life by supporting the body's relaxation response. CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of the body’s craniosacral system. The craniosacral system is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. By freeing the central nervous system to perform at its best, CST naturally reduces pain and stress, strengthens resistance to disease, and enhances health and well-being. .

Amy is the best! She did lymphatic drainage on me throughout chemo and immunotherapy, surgery, and radiation! It helped me so much! I processed my treatments easier, felt way better, and recovered faster after each treatment! Thank you so much Amy!

AJ Bodywork has been instrumental in helping my body recover from the effects of chemotherapy and lymphedema. Cranio-Sacral and lymphatic drainage massages have helped with headaches and the swelling caused by the lymphatic fluid.

I have ovarian cancer. I had lymphatic massage on a regular basis for about two years and it really helped me avoid chemotherapy during that period. Amy really knows what she’s doing and I appreciate the way she explains what she is doing and why. I highly recommend Amy.

In 2018, Scott was diagnosed with stage IV melanoma. Amy introduced us to CranioSacral and lymphatic drainage. Scott often commented on how it helped him both mentally and physically in his battle.

Amy was a great help with my wife during her ovarian cancer battle.
- Steve P.

Amy gets results. My father was diagnosed with leukemia and Amy was able to be part of his support team. The CranioSacral therapy and lymphatic drainage massage she did on him greatly improved his comfort level and helped his body before and after treatments. Highly recommend for anyone pre or post surgery and cancer treatments.
