- Clinical Psychologist

- Exercise Physiologist (with access to a gym)
- Occupational therapist (Lymphoedema Specialist)
- Speech Pathologist.
We offer access to qualified exercise physiologists who can tailor an exercise program to suit your unique health and lifestyle requirements.
Considerable research and clinical evidence has established that exercise may be beneficial for people with cancer; however, there is no one-size-fits-all approach.1,2 Every person’s circumstances are unique and these should be taken into account. Tailored exercise programs designed by an exercise professional that include both aerobic and resistance training activities have been shown to provide benefits.3
Speak to your doctor and treatment team to learn more about incorporating exercise during your cancer journey.
