Physiotherapy for cancer care
Our physiotherapy team provides specialised care to support people living with cancer. Using an evidence-based approach, our physiotherapists assess, diagnose, and treat the wide range of impacts that cancer and its treatment can have on the body.
How it can play a vital role in:
-
- Reducing pain and stiffness
- Improving strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance
- Supporting recovery after surgery
- Helping prevent or manage treatment side effects
- Promoting overall health and wellbeing
We work closely with you and your cancer care team to support your health through all stages – from diagnosis, during treatment, and throughout recovery or palliation. Our focus is not only on managing existing symptoms but also on encouraging long-term recovery and quality of life.
Common concerns include:
-
- Cancer-related fatigue
- Muscle pain and weakness
- Joint pain and stiffness
- Balance and coordination difficulties
Our physiotherapy team is here to support you every step of the way.
