Specialties
We provide highly specialized massage and occupational therapy, including oncology massage, manual lymphatic drainage massage, lymphedema and lipedema care, scar rehabilitation, and more. Our occupational therapist offers measuring for compression garments, bandaging, home exercise programs for cancer and lymphedema rehabilitation, standardized lipedema evaluations, and can help facilitate procuring pneumatic compression pumps to help alleviate swelling at home. Our massage therapists offer relief from swelling, pain, and range of motion issues brought on by cancer treatment, gender-affirming surgeries, and complex medical conditions. We work to provide a space of safety, non-judgment, and allyship for all people, and we warmly welcome the LGBTQ+ and TGNC communities.
History
Established in 2012.
We started out as a one-person practice, as Megan Belanger, LMT, CLT in 2012. As the need for oncology care, post-surgical rehabilitation, lymphedema treatment, and other complex medical conditions care continued to grow, one pair of hands was not enough! It became time to expand and hire more skilled therapists, and so in 2022, we became One River Massage Therapy and can now offer so much more!
Meet the Business Owner: Megan B.
Hello, Yelpers! My fascination for the physiology of the human body propelled me into the massage profession after working in the corporate world for many years, and it has been my greatest decision ever! I started off right away specializing in gentle touch, oncology massage, and lymphatic massage, and I am passionate about educating people about how this work can facilitate positive change in the body and about society's innate need for therapeutic touch.
I founded the Touch of Kindness pay-it-forward fund in 2015, so that those with cancer, cancer histories, lymphedema, and lipedema and transgender folks can receive low- or no-cost treatments at our office. And in 2022 I expanded and became One River Massage Therapy, where we offer more massage and specialized occupational therapy for those with cancer, lymphedema, complex medical conditions and for people recovering from gender-affirming surgery.
