Top Rated Cancer Rehabilitation in Shaughnessy, BC

At Prime Health & Performance in Shaughnessy, BC, we are dedicated to helping our patrons achieve their health and wellness goals through personalized training and physiotherapy programs. One area in which we excel is Cancer Rehabilitation through physiotherapy. We believe that physical exercise plays a crucial role in the recovery and overall well-being of individuals affected by cancer.

By actively engaging in physiotherapy, cancer survivors can experience numerous benefits. Our expert physiotherapists work closely with clients to develop tailored exercise programs that address their specific needs and limitations. Through regular physical activity, patrons can improve their cardiovascular endurance, strength, and flexibility, which helps in regaining overall physical function and reducing the side effects of cancer treatments such as fatigue and muscle weakness.

As cancer survival rates continue to improve, more people are living with short or long-term side effects from their treatment. These side effects can significantly impact many areas of one’s life, and often results in setbacks in their physical function and daily life.

Some side effects may include:

• Pain
• Fatigue
• Weakness
• Loss of range of motion
• Poor balance
• Peripheral neuropathy
• Lymphedema

There is strong evidence that physical activity and exercise during cancer treatment can reduce treatment-related side effects and help maintain daily function. Additionally, physical activity and exercise after treatment can help to regain function and control, as well as reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and improve survivorship.
