How can we help?
Oncology Rehabilitation
Cancer and cancer treatments can impact the body, and cause a number of physical problems that physiotherapy can assist with. These include pain, fatigue, and musculoskeletal problems (including scarring and cording, loss of movement, weakness, nerve damage). There are things that can be done to help these common side-effects. ​
​​
Physiotherapists are experts in movement and function. We use a range of different techniques including manual therapies, education, lifestyle advice and exercise prescription to support your recovery at any stage of your cancer journey.
Exercise Therapy
Exercise is an important part of rehabilitation, during and after your cancer diagnosis. Regular exercise improves strength and fitness, as well as quality of life. It reduces fatigue, pain and lymphoedema.
​
After a cancer diagnosis, your exercise program must be individualised and developed by a physiotherapist experienced in exercise prescription for people with cancer.
Lymphoedema Assessment and Management
Lymphoedema is a common problem after cancer treatment. We provide lymphoedema assessment, monitoring and management. Treatment includes manual lymphatic drainage, bandaging and compression therapy options; designed with a self-management program that works for you.
Women's and Men's Health
Cancer and cancer treatments can impact the pelvic floor. This can include problems with bladder or bowel control, fibrosis or pain. We can provide an individualised approach to managing these sensitive issues with additional skills in the assessment and management of pelvic floor disorders.
