What is Cancer Rehabilitation?

Cancer rehabilitation is a specialised area of physiotherapy that focuses on helping individuals affected by cancer regain and maintain their physical abilities, manage pain and improve their overall quality of life. Cancer treatment can often take a significant toll on the body, causing issues like fatigue, muscle weakness, lymphoedema and more. Our cancer rehabilitation services aim to address these issues, ensuring each patient can recover as efficiently and comfortably as possible.


We are proud to be PINC Cancer Rehabilitation Certified Practitioners, offering a program tailored to help women navigate the challenges of cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery challenges. Our program is designed to nurture, support and guide women through every stage of their cancer journey, with rehabilitation services that include:

 

  • Manual Physiotherapy: Hands-on techniques to improve flexibility, reduce pain and enhance mobility.
  • Manual Lymphatic Drainage: A gentle massage technique used to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues.
  • Physical and Functional Assessments: Evaluations to determine the specific impairments caused by cancer and its treatment, such as weakness, fatigue or restricted mobility.
  • Individualised Clinical Pilates: Exercise programs designed to improve strength, flexibility, and postural control.
  • Supervised Gym Programs: Exercise programs tailored to cancer patients' needs, focusing on regaining strength and endurance.
  • Fatigue Management: Strategies and exercises to manage and reduce cancer-related fatigue.
  • Resistance Training and Exercise Prescription: Building muscle strength and improving overall physical function to enhance daily activities and independence.

Our Approach to Cancer Rehabilitation

Assessment

Lymphedema Management

Pain Management

Physiotherapy treatment

We begin with a thorough assessment of your physical abilities, including strength, flexibility, endurance and any impairments related to cancer or its treatment. We evaluate conditions such as lymphoedema, fatigue or neuropathy, which are common side effects of treatment. This initial assessment helps us design a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Pain Management

Lymphedema Management

Pain Management

Pain management

Cancer treatment often results in pain that can affect a patient’s quality of life. Our physiotherapists use a combination of manual therapy, exercise, and education to help manage pain effectively. Whether it’s neck, back or joint pain, our targeted interventions reduce discomfort and improve overall well-being.

Lymphedema Management

Lymphedema Management

For patients experiencing lymphoedema—a condition of swelling caused by an impaired lymphatic system—we offer manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy and specific exercises. These interventions help reduce swelling, improve lymphatic function and enhance mobility.

Functional Training

Education and Support

Lymphedema Management

Group exercise for rehab

Cancer can limit a person’s ability to perform daily activities, affecting their independence. Our functional training focuses on helping patients regain these abilities through targeted exercises. By addressing specific impairments, we work towards improving each patient’s strength, balance and ability to carry out essential day-to-day tasks.
