Cancer Rehab

Cancer Rehabilitation

Cancer is one of the leading causes of illness worldwide. Many times, patients undergoing cancer treatments experience treatment-related side-effects that immensely affect their quality of life. Patients are often deconditioned and feel weak in performing their activities of daily living. Cancer rehabilitation at Zenith physiotherapy involves the therapist thoroughly assessing your condition including taking the history of cancer and the stage of the cancer treatment (either during or after the treatment) you are in and making objective assessments to check your strength, balance, pain levels, scar tissue development (if any), and then making an individualized treatment plan based on the assessment.

Cancer rehabilitation can help improve:

– Your energy levels so you can actively participate with your family and friends
– Improve the quality of life
– Improve physical conditioning, endurance for your day-to-day life, and more

A treatment plan will vary based on each patient’s condition and may include:

– Manual treatment
– Exercise program to help build strength and endurance
– Activities to improve mobility
– Pain management
– Patient Education

If you are experiencing the side effects of cancer, physiotherapist at Zenith Physiotherapy can help you in achieving your rehabilitation goals
