Cancer Rehab
Our Therapies
Exercise as part of your treatment
Exercise is now recognised as part of standard cancer care rather than something to attempt once treatment ends. The Clinical Oncology Society of Australia’s position statement on exercise in cancer care describes exercise as a safe and effective intervention that counteracts the physical and psychological effects of cancer and its treatment, and recommends it be embedded in routine practice. Our Exercise Physiologists specialise in exercise oncology, so you can exercise safely whether you are preparing for surgery, partway through chemotherapy, or rebuilding after treatment ends.
Building the program around your treatment
From first conversation to first session
Who this program suits
Cancer rehab benefits people at every stage: before treatment begins, during chemotherapy or radiation, after surgery, and in long term survivorship. We support individuals with all cancer types, including breast, prostate, bowel, lung, and blood cancers. No prior exercise experience is needed. You can be referred by your oncologist or GP, or you can contact us directly.
