Exercise for Cancer Recover
At Fortitude Rehabilitation and Conditioning (FRC), our Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) provide specialised exercise programs to support people during and after cancer treatment. Research shows that exercise physiology plays a vital role in improving recovery, reducing treatment side effects, and enhancing overall quality of life for cancer survivors.
Why Exercise Physiology Matters in Cancer Recovery
Cancer treatment often leads to fatigue, muscle loss, reduced mobility, and emotional stress. Our evidence‑based exercise programs are designed to:
-
Improve strength, endurance, and energy levels
-
Reduce treatment‑related fatigue
-
Support immune function and overall health
-
Maintain bone density and muscle mass
-
Improve balance, mobility, and flexibility
-
Enhance mental wellbeing, mood, and confidence
-
Lower the risk of cancer recurrence and secondary conditions
