Cancer and the treatments required to treat it often cause physical, psychological, and cognitive problems. Managing these problems or side effects DURING and AFTER cancer treatment can significantly improve your quality of life and even long-term survival.
Physiotherapy can help you manage the short- and long-term side effects of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy by customizing a rehabilitation program to:
-
-
- Help you build or maintain strength and endurance
- Regain independence
- Reduce stress
- Maintain the energy to participate in daily activities that are important to you
-
We work with you to address symptoms such as:
-
-
- “brain fog”
- Pain & fatigue
- Weakness, numbness, swelling
- Loss of mobility
- Chemo-induced neuropathy
-
While your Oncology health team has the resources and expertise to treat your cancer, we have the tools and techniques to help you manage the short and long term side effects of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Care and consideration is made to ensure your treatments are within the limits imposed by your disease.
JointAction Physiotherapy specializes in providing Cancer Rehabilitation in a caring and comprehensive manner. Our cancer rehabilitation services are therefore covered as ‘physiotherapy’ under extended health insurance plans, and our receipts also qualify as a tax deductible medical expense on your tax return.
Your physical and emotional well-being are all important. Care and consideration is made to ensure your treatments are within the limits imposed by your disease/condition.
