CancerCare
When pain and discomfort limit abilities, we teach the skills patients need to improve physical activity.
Current studies suggest that performing moderate exercise can provide great benefit to patients currently undergoing treatments. inactivity can result in loss of function, strength, and range of motion. structured exercise is an effective way to counteract these negative side effects.
Physical therapy will help patients regain physical strength and endurance. Our program also has the ability to battle the side effects of chemotherapy, including fatigue and nausea.
Positive effects of exercise and physical therapy include:
- Increased strength
- Decreased nausea and fatigue
- Improved natural defense mechanisms
- Improved sense of control
- Improved mood
- Improved self-esteem
- Self reported improved quality of life
Participating in a medically supervised exercise program enables patients to gain a sense of physical control over their condition, and provides an outlet for stress and anxiety.
Movement is a medicine for creating change in a person's physical, emotional, and mental states.
