Cancer Rehab: Strength in Motion

Improving the quality of life in patients with cancer through exercise

If you have been diagnosed with cancer, one of the steps you can take to improve your quality of life during treatment is exercise. Exercise training has been shown to be safe during and after cancer treatments. The American Cancer Society and the American College of Sports Medicine have documented many benefits of exercise for patients with cancer, including:

  • Better flexibility
  • Better sleep
  • Higher satisfaction with life
  • Improved body weight and composition
  • Improved physical function
  • Less cancer-related fatigue
  • Less nausea
  • More successful stress management

Our Cancer Rehab: Strength in Motion program is dedicated to providing these benefits to our patients. You can enter our program in one of two ways:

  • A direct referral from your doctor or other provider to the appropriate therapist to address specific concerns
  • A 30-minute consultation with one of our physical therapists to help direct you to the appropriate professional or exercise modality

Where appropriate, we will teach you how to exercise independently or refer you to one of our group programs.
