Physiotherapy for oncology/
cancer

If you need to undergo, or have undergone, treatments for cancer, you probably don’t immediately think about maintaining your fitness. Yet it is useful to consider this. Research shows that it has many advantages to follow a specially developed training program before, during, and after cancer treatment. Many people find it pleasant to get started on their own or together with fellow sufferers and to notice that, despite the often burdensome treatments, you can still improve in strength and condition.
