One in Two people will experience Cancer in their lifetime and the side effects of treatment associated with Cancer can lead to negative impacts on quality of life.
Physiotherapy for Cancer Rehabilitation is more than just helping people after cancer, it is about giving hope, strength and courage. It doesn’t matter whether people are currently undergoing treatment, their treatment is completed or they live with cancer as a chronic illness – everyone should have the opportunity to rehabilitate to help them live as fully and actively as possible.
At Performance Physiotherapy our experienced Cancer Rehabilitation Physio can guide you through an assessment that focusses on supporting the whole patient, not just addressing the cancer. Each person is assessed individually for the impact of their surgery and cancer treatments and the physical and functional limitations they may have caused.
Treatment effects may lead to physical impairments including pain, fatigue, lymphoedema, weakness, restricted range of motion, joint pain and osteoporosis. Our certified Physiotherapist can support, guide and rehabilitate you through every stage of your treatment and recovery using evidence-based treatments and rehabilitation.
There are now more and more people surviving a cancer diagnosis, but surviving isn’t enough. We believe in enhancing the life that a Cancer survivor has by building their strength, confidence and ability to exercise and live life to the full.
Our cancer specialist Physiotherapists have undergone recognised training in this area of Physiotherapy and are passionate about helping patients achieve their goals.
Among the services they can provide are:
- Expert assessment and advice regarding your own particular concerns or limitations, helping set goals and providing tailor made rehabilitation programmes
- Help with soft tissue/scar mobilisation post surgery.
- Exercise interventions to help improve strength/fitness and restore function.
- Help and guidance regarding managing soft tissue pain and restriction and returning to exercise/work/hobbies.
