Clinical exercise for cancer involves carefully prescribed physical activity to address the physical and emotional side effects of cancer and its treatments. Whether you’re undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, or are in remission, exercise can be an essential part of your care plan.

What is cancer rehabilitation?

Cancer rehab is individualised exercise that aims to manage the physical and psychological challenges that come with both cancer and its treatments. Our tailored approach supports individuals at all stages of treatment and recovery. This kind of intervention focuses on:

  • Regaining strength

  • Improving mobility

  • Reducing fatigue

  • Enhancing overall well-being

How our clinical exercise programmes work

Our personalised plans start where you are and build at your pace. From your first consultation to regular one-to-one sessions and simple at-home exercises, every step is designed to help you move more comfortably, build strength and confidence, and progress safely and steadily.

Initial consultation & assessment 

Personalised program delivery

One-to-one sessions

Home practice and check-ins

A relaxed chat about your health history, medications and goals, plus a gentle movement check you can do in everyday clothes. We agree on priorities together.

A clear plan built around what matters to you, focusing on strength, mobility, cardiovascular fitness and balance. It fits your routine and any medical considerations.

Regular sessions at home or a suitable local space. We adjust to how you’re feeling on the day and progress steadily. Suitable for chronic disease management, post-surgery exercise and joint pain support.

Short, simple exercises to keep you moving between sessions. We check what’s changing, tune the plan, and (with your permission) liaise with your GP, physio or consultant so care stays joined up

Kind words from our clients

"My husband was in need of good oncology exercise due to the side effects (nerve damage) he was suffering in his hands and soles of his feet due to chemo. Victoria was able to introduce us to Sandra, who provided home visits. Sandra’s amazing, a true professional with amazing skills and knowledge. She’s introduced a plan tailored to my husband's pace and needs. She’s so patient and encourages him to exercise at his own pace but pushes him gently when needed. His mobility has improved quite a bit and this has boosted his confidence levels! So thankful we found them on the internet & would definitely recommend them."

Cancer rehabilitation FAQ’s

Cancer rehabilitation is a specialised exercise programme designed to help individuals recovering from cancer treatment regain strength, improve mobility, reduce fatigue, and enhance overall wellbeing. Our tailored approach supports individuals at all stages of recovery.

Anyone who has undergone or is undergoing cancer treatment can benefit, including those recovering from chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery. Our sessions help improve physical function, reduce treatment side effects, and support long-term health.

All our sessions are generally carried out as home visit sessions ensuring exercises are safe, practical, and relevant to daily activities. However, we can also provide sessions in a gym facility, outdoor park or online to meet your preferences.

If managed by a health and exercise professional, exercise during or after cancer treatment can be safe and effective. Our programmes are designed to be safe and gentle, with exercises tailored to each individual’s health status and treatment stage. We always prioritise comfort and safety.

Cancer-related fatigue is common, and our sessions are designed to accommodate energy levels on any given day. Even gentle movement can help improve energy and reduce overall fatigue over time.

Absolutely! We are happy to coordinate with your healthcare professional to ensure a safe approach to your rehabilitation.
