Getting back to everyday life after a heart event
Recovery can feel uncertain. Energy changes day to day. It’s normal to worry about doing too much or not knowing where to start. Cancer rehabilitation with us is one-to-one exercise support that fits how you feel. We tailor sessions to your treatment and symptoms to build strength, ease stiffness, and lift stamina without overdoing it.
Common worries we can help with
- Not knowing where to begin during chemo, radiotherapy or immunotherapy
- Managing fatigue so you can do more without wiping yourself out
- Moving safely with a PICC line, port, drains or recent scars
- Easing shoulder or chest tightness after breast surgery or reconstruction
- Handling joint pain or stiffness from hormone therapy
- Coping with numbness or tingling in hands/feet (neuropathy) and staying steady on your feet
- Building strength and confidence after time in hospital
- Returning to walking and everyday activity after surgery, step by step

What we work on in sessions
Our sessions adapt to your treatment cycles and how you feel that day. We build gradually so you finish feeling better, not wiped out, and we work safely around PICC/ports, recent scars and lymphoedema risk. On low-immunity days, we switch to low-exposure options or online.
Strength
Joint-friendly strength to rebuild muscle lost during treatment and make daily tasks easier: getting up from a chair, taking the stairs, carrying shopping. We respect surgical precautions and bone-health concerns and add load step by step, so you feel steadier doing real-life things.
Mobility
Gentle mobility to ease tightness from surgery, radiotherapy or long rests. We focus on comfortable range and posture so dressing, reaching and turning feel smoother. Where needed, we include shoulder/chest mobility and scar-aware positions.
Cardiovascular
Short walks and easy intervals to build stamina and manage fatigue. We include warm-ups and cool-downs and pace sessions to your symptoms and recovery, adjusting around treatment cycles and tougher days.
Balance
Targeted balance and stability so you feel secure on your feet, especially if weakness or treatment-related neuropathy is in the mix. Safer steps indoors and out, with confidence for everyday outings.
How our cancer rehabilitation works
A simple plan, steady support and clear safety checks. We start gently and build at your pace, at home or online.
Initial consultation and assessment
We discuss your diagnosis, treatment stage, and any precautions. Then, we do a quick movement check in your everyday clothes to set clear priorities. If you have a PICC/port, drains, or lymphoedema risk, we plan around them.
Personalised plan
We map out the next few weeks with light strength, simple mobility, short walks and sensible pacing. Warm-ups, cool-downs, and comfort work are included as needed. There are clear rest days, so sessions help you feel better, not exhausted.
One-to-one sessions
Typically 60 minutes, weekly or fortnightly. We adapt on the day for fatigue, soreness or nausea and respect any post-op precautions. Sessions are predictable, with plenty of breaks, and a carer is welcome if you’d like support.
Simple home practice
Short, easy exercises and gentle walks to keep progress going between sessions. Clear written or video prompts if you’d like them. No special kit needed, we can use everyday items at home.
Progress you can see
We track straightforward checks like comfortable walking time or distance, sit-to-stand reps, shoulder range, balance time and how your energy lasts across the day. We review every 6-8 weeks and update your plan.

Joined-up care
With your permission, we can coordinate with your oncology team, surgeon, physio or lymphoedema nurse. If you have new or worsening symptoms (fever during treatment, chest discomfort, unusual breathlessness, dizziness), we pause and follow clinical advice first.
Who we support
Whether you’re at diagnosis, in treatment or rebuilding afterwards, we offer one-to-one cancer rehabilitation that matches how you feel that day. We work with adults of any age, from new diagnoses to those who want to stay active and independent, with sessions paced to your energy, symptoms and treatment schedule.

“Nadia has been an incredible support through some really big life events. She doesn’t just focus on the exercise; she always takes the time to listen and genuinely reassure me. She’s helped me understand some confusing medical results and has been a huge source of emotional support while waiting for appointments. Our sessions are always perfectly balanced – I get the movement I need without ever feeling exhausted. I always leave feeling completely at ease and supported.”
“After treatment and my myscetomy, I felt weak and was nervous about moving my upper body and doing weights. Longevity‘s team understood my restrictions and created a plan to suit me. They always made me feel heard and would take the time to check in on how I was feeling each session and reassure me throughout.”
