PINCCancer Rehab

The PINC Cancer Rehabilitation Program is dedicated to improving the strength, quality of life and sense of wellbeing of women diagnosed with cancer.

It is an individualised and specialised, exercise-based rehabilitation program and it is delivered by certified PINC Cancer Rehab Physiotherapists.

WHAT IS INVOLVED:

A detailed 60-minute assessment is completed on your first session. During this appointment, we will take the time to get to know you, learn about your diagnosis and your cancer journey so far. We will review your goals and complete a thorough physical assessment. From here we can work together to develop an individualised treatment plan for you.

Follow up sessions are usually for 30 minutes.

Treatment may include:

• Manual physiotherapy

• Individualised exercise prescription
• Resistance training including Clinical Pilates
• Balance re-training
• Fatigue management
