The Cancer Rehabilitation blog will address the role of therapeutic exercise in the rehabilitation of the cancer patient. We will begin with a brief overview of cancer, categories of cancer, as well as treatment strategies. More extensive treatment of these topics can be found in other sources including the websites of many cancer organizations. I will, however, address what is not found in other sources, i.e, how prescriptive exercise can assist those currently in treatment or post treatment, return to or maintain their physical (and psychological) function. More information may also be found on my website. Hope we all learn things from one another and I look forward to your questions and input.
