Understanding Soft Tissue Pain
Soft tissue pain can happen when a tumour presses on nearby muscles or organs, causing discomfort in areas such as the abdomen or back. Your cancer team can assess what is causing it and what will help.
Where Recovapro fits
Deep tissue massage is one of the things cancer doctors usually advise avoiding during treatment, so ask your cancer team before using any massage device. We do not claim that a massage gun relieves pain from a tumour pressing on nearby tissue, and it should never be used over or near a tumour. If your team is happy for you to use one for general muscle tension elsewhere, follow their guidance.
Why Addressing Soft Tissue Pain Matters
If soft tissue pain is limiting your day, your team has options. Assessment comes first.
Recovapro devices are not a treatment for the condition discussed on this page and do not replace clinical care. This page does not offer a diagnosis or an individual treatment plan.
