Supporting Your Body Through and Beyond Treatment
Exercise & Cancer Recovery
Recovery isn't just about getting through treatment. It's also about rebuilding and restoring your health, your fitness, you - you.
Carefully, clinically, and on your terms.
A little bit of input can go a long way.
Its a lot.
Cancer and cancer treatment place significant demands on the body. Depending on the type of treatment received, the physical effects can include muscle weakness, fatigue, reduced range of motion, circulatory and lymphatic changes, hormonal shifts, and metabolic changes that affect weight and body composition.
Weight gain through recovery is pretty normal
For many people, weight gain during or after treatment is an unexpected and distressing consequence — one that is rarely addressed with the clinical specificity it deserves.
Exercise thats focused on YOU can help
Exercise has a well-established and growing evidence base in cancer recovery. It plays a role across a broad range of recovery goals — from restoring movement and managing lymphoedema, to improving cardiovascular health, supporting hormonal balance, and addressing the body composition changes that often follow treatment.
Exercise can also help with tiredness and fatigue
It counterintuitive, but a paced return to exercise can he effective in helping you to overcome tiredness and fatigue, help you sleep better, and help your immune system get back on track.
How I can help
As an Exercise Physiologist and Physiotherapist, I work with people at various stages of cancer recovery to develop programs that are evidence-based, individually prescribed, and responsive to your medical history and current physical status.
This may include:
- Targeted exercise to restore range of motion and functional strength
- Lymphatic and circulatory support through appropriate movement
- Graduated strength and resistance work to address muscle loss
- Metabolic and weight management support through exercise programming
- Ongoing review and adjustment as your recovery progresses
Every program begins with a thorough clinical assessment.
Nothing is assumed, and nothing is generic.
