🎀 Make Movement a habit-Chemo edition 🎀

Did you know that prescribed movement plays an integral part in cancer treatment and management?

One of my followers asked that I talk about movement in this special population of patients, those undergoing chemotherapy. And even if you are cancer free, you may have a family member or friend who is going through this part of their life’s journey. ...so this is an opportunity to be even more informed, supportive, and to advocate for persons living with cancer to see a qualified & registered physio.

The facts, which are evidence based, are these:
1. Physiotherapy improves function and quality of life of persons living with cancer

2. Physiotherapy reduces fatigue and brain fog which can occur with chemotherapy

3. Physio management which starts when the patient is diagnosed, surgical complications are reduced by 50%

Appropriate movement prescription is a key component of physiotherapy...don’t panic....I’m not talking about intense workouts. I’m talking about gentle, manageable movement that meets you where you are today.

Join me over the next few days as we make movement a habit, even during chemotherapy!
