Oncology Rehabilitation

Recover from the treatment of cancer can be physically and mentally challenging. Surgery, radiation and chemotherapy all take a toll on the body and spirit. Exercise therapy and rehabilitation have been shown to be very effective to restore function. Gentle exercise even during treatment can improve quality of life and help in managing side effects.
