Physiotherapy is an essential part of cancer care, focused on restoring mobility, improving strength, and reducing pain. It helps patients recover more quickly after surgery, alleviates side effects from treatment, and reduces fatigue.
After surgery, post-surgery wound care physiotherapy is essential for proper healing and recovery. Cancer surgery often leads to restricted movement and discomfort, especially in the areas where tissue was removed. Physiotherapy can help accelerate healing, manage pain, and restore normal movement patterns.
Lymphedema is a condition often caused by cancer treatment, particularly surgery or radiation, that affects the lymphatic system, leading to swelling, commonly in the arms or legs. Managing lymphedema is a key part of cancer recovery, and physiotherapy plays a critical role in its treatment.
Lymphedema is the buildup of lymph fluid, which can lead to swelling, heaviness, and discomfort. It is most common after breast cancer surgery, where lymph nodes are removed or irradiated.
Aside from lymphedema management, there are various other physiotherapy modalities that can help cancer patients recover and regain their quality of life.
Our Physiotherapy Department is equipped with experienced and certified physiotherapists who specialise in cancer care. Our team works closely with oncologists, surgeons, and other healthcare professionals to provide a multidisciplinary approach to recovery.
Patients can be referred to the physiotherapy department by their oncologist, surgeon, or general practitioner.
Upon your first visit, our physiotherapists will conduct a comprehensive assessment for evaluation of your physical condition, limitations, and goals for recovery. Based on this, we will develop a personalised physiotherapy plan that aligns with your needs.
The length of physiotherapy depends on the patient's specific treatment plan, cancer stage, and recovery goals. Most patients start with frequent sessions, which taper off as their condition improves.
