Cancer And Lymphatic Management (CALM)

Joe will be working with patients right from cancer diagnosis, throughout active cancer treatment, post-surgery, as well as those who have been cancer-free for many years.

​

Cancer rehabilitation can relieve short-term and long-term disability for those diagnosed with cancer. There is strong evidence to support that those with a cancer diagnosis who participate in regular exercise, especially supervised exercise, have a lower relative risk of cancer recurring, as well as having fewer side effects from their cancer treatments.

Benefits of the exercise during cancer rehabilitation includes:

• Regaining and maintaining strength, mobility, and endurance

• Increasing tolerance to chemotherapy, radiation, and hormone therapies

• Reducing cancer-related fatigue

• Managing stress, anxiety, and depression

• Managing pain

• Improving wellbeing

• Maintaining positive mental health

The CALM program involves an in-depth assessment and goal setting in the first few sessions to create a specially designed treatment plan and exercise program that is personalised and unique to the individual. Ongoing treatment may involve hands-on therapies and exercise-based treatment with education on self-management.

You will have access to excellent private facilities and be able to utilize a range of specialised equipment, including the Pilates reformer.
