Oncology Rehabilitation addresses the physical, emotional, and functional challenges arising from cancer treatments. Radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery often leave patients with fatigue, pain, numbness, and decreased mobility. Our rehab program focuses on reducing these side effects through supervised exercises, manual therapies, and specific interventions like lymphedema management. In addition to physical recovery, we understand the emotional toll cancer can take. Our therapists work in tandem with mental health professionals and nutritionists, creating a supportive network designed to optimize your recovery journey. Through detailed assessments and personalized care plans, patients regain strength, manage treatment side effects more effectively, and improve their overall quality of life.
Following a detailed evaluation of your physical condition and medical history, we create a tailored program. It may include light resistance training, gentle cardio exercises, flexibility work, and balance activities. Our goal is to gradually build up your tolerance and strength while respecting your body’s limits during treatment.
