Cancer Exercise
As a Cancer Exercise Specialist with years of experience and education, I am trained to take into consideration your unique situation, including the type of cancer, surgical procedures, treatments, acute and chronic side effects, and exercise precautions and modifications.
In recent years, exercise has become part of the standard of care during the treatment, recovery, and survivorship of cancer patients. Unique and individualized exercise programming will help to improve your ability to cope with the mental stress and physical side effects following cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Oncologists recommend an exercise program to help with improving or maintaining your strength and endurance before, during, and after most cancer treatments.
