As healthcare providers, we understand the profound impact that cancer and its treatments can have on an individual’s physical, emotional, and functional well-being. In the ever-evolving landscape of cancer care, physiotherapy has become increasingly crucial in supporting patients throughout their rehabilitation.

The Importance of Physiotherapy in Cancer Rehabilitation

Cancer and its treatments can lead to a wide range of physical impairments, including decreased muscle strength, reduced range of motion, balance and coordination issues, and chronic pain. These challenges can significantly impact a patient’s ability to perform daily activities, return to work, and engage in social interactions.

Physiotherapists play a vital role in addressing these complex rehabilitation needs, working collaboratively with oncologists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to develop a comprehensive and personalized treatment plan.
