The Cancer Physio
Cancer Rehab Clinical Services
I offer cancer rehabilitation that puts you first; patient-centered care where you can show up at any stage and I will meet you where you are at. Do you feel that you are in the dark having just received a diagnosis? Are you in the thick of it, undergoing treatment that is heavily burdening you with symptoms? If so, there are options and I care. I invest tirelessly in staying on top of the ongoing body of research and course offerings to offer you evidence based rehab plans that work and clinical expertise that is personalized to your diagnosis. Where ever you are in your journey, I will meet you.

WORK/ACTIVITY
Most cancer journeys have a general treatment pathway and fall into one of the treatment phases below where personalized rehabilitation can help. Often the symptom burden can be very heavy and remain untreated; and at times post treatment you are expected to jump back to work and life. Symptoms of joint pain, cancer related fatigue, neuropathies or dizziness are a few of the many common set backs within a cancer journey. Education is power, rehab plans work and together we can find tools that help you feel better. Whether your diagnosis is lung cancer, colorectal cancer, multiple myeloma or bone metastasis, I would love to support you with a comprehensive rehab plan.
Treatment Process
Whether we meet in person or through telehealth, all rehabilitation planning starts with an initial cancer rehabilitation assessment that is 60 min long, followed by cancer rehab follow up sessions at a frequency that best matches your needs and treatment schedule.
