CANCER TREATMENT IS NOT ALWAYS THE TIME TO STOP MOVING COMPLETELY.
Cancer and its treatment can have a significant effect on physical activity, strength, fitness and confidence.
Cancer prehabilitation asks an important question:
What can we safely and appropriately help this person continue doing?
For some people that may involve structured strength and cardiovascular exercise.
For others, the starting point may be much simpler.
There is no one-size-fits-all cancer exercise programme.
Exercise should be adapted around the individual, their treatment, symptoms, current physical ability and medical guidance.
Our aim isn't to push people through treatment.
It's to help people maintain or rebuild as much physical capacity and confidence as is appropriate for them.
