Exercise & Cancer
Delivery and prescription of exercise as an adjunct therapy is now recognised as the best medicine alongside standard cancer treatment.
Research continues to show that participation in exercise performance as guided by a health professional can be beneficial in reducing the impact of cancer and its treatments, while improving quality of life throughout survivorship and reducing the risk of cancer recurrence.
Led by Hayley Owens, we assist individuals throughout their cancer management with in-depth understanding and exercise prescription to achieve individualised goals.
Our commitment to ever-growing research ensures safe and effective exercise prescription based on the most current evidence, and our personal approach guarantees individualisation and highest quality care in combination with your current treatment modalities.
Benefits of professionally prescribed exercise can include:
- lessened impact of cancer and its treatments
- increased tolerance for cancer therapies
- improved mental wellbeing
- increased heart and lung function
- reduced cancer-related fatigue
- improved muscle mass and strength
Our team work closely with clients, considering their medical treatments as well as their emotional wellbeing. With an emphasis on improved quality of life, those who undergo tailored exercise programming can expect to feel fulfilled and able to achieve their goals throughout treatment and into their cancer survivorship.
