Oncology physiotherapy
What is oncology physiotherapy?
Oncology physiotherapy is a specialisation within physiotherapy focused on supporting people with cancer. Treatment is tailored to the complaints and limitations that can result from the disease itself or from treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
Think of complaints such as:
- Fatigue
- Reduced fitness
- Pain
- Stiffness or restricted movement
- Lymphoedema (fluid build-up in, for example, an arm or leg)
- Tension or uncertainty
Our oncology physiotherapists understand what these treatments do to your body and guide you in a safe and responsible way.
When can oncology physiotherapy help you?
Oncology physiotherapy can help you at different stages of the illness:
- Before treatment to build up your fitness
- During treatment to reduce complaints such as fatigue
- After treatment for recovery and rehabilitation
Therapy focuses on improving your load capacity, reducing complaints and supporting your daily functioning.
Guidance can also help you cope with fatigue and regain confidence in your body.
