Onco physiotherapy, also known as oncology physiotherapy or cancer rehabilitation, is a specialized branch of physiotherapy that focuses on improving the physical function, mobility, and quality of life of individuals diagnosed with cancer. This comprehensive rehabilitation approach addresses the unique physical challenges and side effects of cancer and its treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy. Onco physiotherapy aims to optimize functional outcomes, reduce pain, manage treatment-related symptoms, and enhance overall well-being throughout the cancer journey. Treatment plans are tailored to each patient’s specific needs and may include exercises, manual therapy, pain management techniques, lymphedema management, balance and coordination training, and education on energy conservation and fatigue management.
Improves Physical Function: Onco physiotherapy helps cancer patients regain strength, flexibility, and mobility, allowing them to perform daily activities more easily and independently.
Reduces Treatment Side Effects: Onco physiotherapy can alleviate common treatment-related side effects such as pain, fatigue, weakness, neuropathy, lymphedema, and muscle stiffness, improving overall comfort and quality of life.
Enhances Surgical Recovery: Onco physiotherapy plays a crucial role in the postoperative recovery process by promoting wound healing, preventing complications such as scar tissue formation and contractures, and restoring range of motion and function.
Manages Cancer-Related Symptoms: Onco physiotherapy provides effective symptom management strategies to address issues such as neuropathic pain, chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, lymphedema, weakness, balance problems, and deconditioning.
Promotes Psychological Well-being: Onco physiotherapy offers emotional support, motivation, and encouragement to cancer patients, empowering them to actively participate in their recovery and promoting a sense of control and empowerment over their health.
