l NEW RESEARCH PUBLISHED l
We are delighted to share groundbreaking new research led by Sarah Fogarty, Ronna Moore and Cal Cates — titled “A Qualitative Scoping Review of Massage and Massage Therapy on the Mental Health and Well-being of Individuals Living with a Serious and Potentially Life-limiting Physical Illness.”
This study found compelling evidence that massage therapy—delivered by trained professionals—can provide profound benefits beyond the body:
🟢It supports mental health and emotional well-being when facing serious illness.
🟢It helps preserve dignity, fosters inner strength, and offers spaces of respite in times of vulnerability.
🟢It is increasingly recognised as an essential component of integrated care for people living with life-limiting conditions.
At OMT Ltd, we’re honoured to be connected to this research through our team and to support training that meets the highest standards of safety, compassion and evidence-based practice. This work underlines why specialised oncology massage training matters — both for therapists and the clients they serve.
