Rehabilitation for Cancer Patients
Optimizing Function and Well-Being
The goal of cancer rehabilitation is to help you stay as independent and productive as possible before, during, and after cancer treatments. Many studies have shown that rehabilitation programs improve patient outcomes and can lessen the risk of recurrence in some common cancers.
Our team offers specialized rehabilitation services to optimize your function and manage common side effects of treatment including:
- Weakness
- Deconditioning
- Pain
- Cancer-related fatigue
- Numbness or tingling in hands and feet (neuropathy)
- Pelvic pain
- Balance issues
- Difficulty swallowing and/or talking
- Range-of-motion limitations
- Lymphedema
- Bowel/bladder dysfunction
Please speak with your medical team if you feel cancer rehabilitation would benefit you.
Because cancer touches nearly every aspect of your life, we focus on every aspect of your care.
