Lifting a child, reaching a cupboard, walking to the tram or standing long enough to prepare lunch may bring on swelling, stiffness, breathlessness or marked fatigue. Oncology physiotherapy addresses these practical changes before, during or after treatment.
It does not replace medical care or remove every treatment effect. Instead, the physiotherapist assesses movement, strength, balance, breathing, pain and confidence, then builds a plan around the activities that matter to you. The aim is useful progress without asking more of your body than it can safely manage.
