Cancer Recovery Exercise Program
with Physiotherapist Melissa Nedjelski BSc Kin, MPT
|
Individuals going through cancer treatments can be negatively affected by the side effects of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and hormonal therapy. Physical activity and exercise have been shown to improve tolerance to chemotherapy and radiation therapy dosage and intensity.
Individuals who have undergone cancer treatment and surgery often suffer from residual pain in their muscles and joints. These secondary injuries, including pain and weakness, can have a significant effect on daily activities and hobbies, including playing with children, working, exercising, or simply functioning from day-to-day. This class will focus on exercises and movement patterns that will help those recovering from cancer treatment regain strength and function. |
