Oncology and cancer care
Cancer treatment changes what your body can do, often in ways beyond the thing it was aimed at. Fatigue, stiffness, a shoulder that doesn't move the way it used to. Our oncology physiotherapists work with you through any stage of this, before, during, or years after treatment, to help you feel more like yourself again.
What we can help you with
-
Cording and lymphoedema
Gentle, specialist scar and swelling management, alongside movement work to rebuild range and strength in the shoulder and chest.
-
Fatigue and reduced exercise tolerance
A tailored programme that works with your energy, not against it, built around what your body can manage this week.
-
Scar tightness and restricted movement
Hands-on scar therapy and movement work to ease tightness and restore natural motion, including scarring that shows up months or years later.
-
Bone and joint changes from hormone therapy
Considered strength and loading work to support bone density and ease the joint stiffness that often comes with hormonal treatment.
Your journey with our oncology specialists
Whatever's brought you here, cancer treatment tends to leave a mark on the body that goes beyond what it was aimed at. Fatigue, stiffness, a shoulder that doesn't move the way it used to. You might be somewhere in the middle of treatment, or years past the end of it, still working out what your body can do now.
Our physiotherapists hold specialist oncology training, including PINC and STEEL certification and the Restore oncology scar specialist course, so the care you receive is genuinely specialised. We also work closely alongside our men's and women's health teams under one roof, so if your recovery touches on pelvic floor function or hormonal side effects, that care is already connected rather than something you have to seek out separately.
Before we begin, we'll check a few things to make sure exercise is the right and safe next step for you. If you're waiting on a lymphoedema assessment or garment fitting, we'll make sure that happens first. If you have metastatic bone disease, we'll liaise with your oncologist before starting anything. And if there's any medical reason exercise needs a closer look, we'll talk that through honestly.
We offer a short call, around fifteen minutes, before your first appointment. It's a chance to talk through what's going on and how we can help, so your first proper session starts from a place of understanding rather than a blank page. From there, we'll take the time to understand your cancer journey so far, and, just as importantly, what you're hoping to get back to. That might be walking the dog without stopping, picking up your grandchildren, or simply feeling steady on your feet again. Whatever it is, it becomes the focus of everything we do together.
There's no single path through this. For some, it starts with scar management or easing pain. For others, it's building back range of movement, or beginning gently with exercise tolerance. As you're ready, we move toward a more active programme, working with you toward the guidelines of 150 minutes of moderate exercise and two to three strength sessions a week, and many patients go on to join our small group classes when the time feels right.
Most people arrive believing they should rest through treatment, or that fatigue and stiffness are simply something to live with afterwards. Both are almost always wrong. Movement, done at the right level, is one of the best tools we have for managing fatigue and rebuilding strength, and it's safe during treatment for the vast majority of patients. What tends to surprise people most is how much capacity they still have, once someone takes the time to build a plan around them properly.

FAQs
No. Many of the side effects that come with cancer treatment, including fatigue, stiffness, and reduced strength, are things physiotherapy can genuinely improve. They're rarely something you simply have to live with.
No. We use very gentle techniques throughout. They shouldn't be painful, but they are effective in improving movement and softening tightness over time.
For most patients, yes. We'll always check what's right for you individually, but for the majority of people, appropriate exercise during chemotherapy is safe, and it's one of the most effective ways to manage treatment-related fatigue.
Not necessarily, and this is one of the most common misconceptions we hear. Gentle, well-tailored movement often eases fatigue more than rest does. We'll help you find the right level for where you are.
