More and more people are being diagnosed with and surviving cancer. Treatment for cancer typically includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and/or endocrine (hormone) treatment. These treatments commonly cause many patients to develop undesirable side effects. These may lead to impairments such as pain, fatigue, restricted movement, lymphoedema, weakness and osteoporosis. Cancer treatment can also affect physical function and cardiovascular health. All these can have a significant negative impact on quality of life. Oncology Rehabilitation and exercise can help to reduce the impact of these side effects.

The Physio Clinic has physiotherapists who have completed comprehensive cancer rehabilitation courses through Pinc and Steel International. We also have a certified lymphoedema therapist, accredited with the Australasian Lymphology Association. Our therapists are skilled and passionate about assessing and rehabilitating people at all stages of their cancer journey.
