OncologyCancer RehabilitationAccording to the American Cancer Society, exercise has been shown to improve cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, body composition, fatigue, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and happiness in cancer survivors. At Bartley Physical therapy we offer cancer rehabilitation designed specifically for the individual’s unique situation and phase of treatment. You may still be having treatment, or you may have been given the all clear by your oncologist, but…. You are experiencing pain, stiffness, weakness, fatigue, numbness, or loss of balance. We can help! We have extensive training in what happens to the body during cancer treatment, and how to help muscles, joints and nerves recover.
