Oncology Physiotherapy in Vancouver, BC
Compassionate, evidence-informed care supporting recovery and well-being during and after cancer treatment.
Understanding Oncology Physiotherapy
Cancer and its treatment can affect energy, mobility, and function, as well as specific tissues in your body, like tendons and bones. Oncology physiotherapy supports individuals through all stages of treatment and recovery by helping them move safely, manage side effects, and improve function in daily activities. Oncology physiotherapy can also be helpful if you have an injury unrelated to your cancer journey – Kate will understand the medications you are on and the procedures you’ve had done to determine if these are relevant to your injury recovery.
At Treloar Physiotherapy in Vancouver, our team provides individualized programs that focus on movement, comfort, and confidence—offering care designed to meet each person where they are in their journey.
How Physiotherapy Can Support Cancer Recovery
Every person’s experience with cancer is unique. Physiotherapy can provide meaningful benefits by helping to:
- Manage fatigue and build stamina gradually through safe exercise
- Reduce discomfort and stiffness related to surgery, radiation, or inactivity
- Improve mobility and flexibility, supporting daily movement
- Optimize your bone health if you have osteopenia, osteoporosis or bone metastases
- Regain strength for return to function, work or sport
- Enhance balance and posture to reduce the risk of falling
Our approach is gentle and adaptive—always prioritizing your safety and comfort.
Common Concerns Addressed
Physiotherapy may help with various challenges that can occur during or after treatment, such as:
- Limited range of motion
- Post-surgical tightness or scarring
- Fatigue and weakness
- Balance or coordination changes
- Discomfort related to nerve irritation or muscle tension
Your physiotherapist will take time to understand your health, tissue health (bone, tendon, nerve), symptoms, and goals, tailoring each session accordingly.
