Enhancing Survival
Outcomes and Well-Being
What We Do
Our CanConquer program is built on research and the latest scientific findings.
Are You About to Start or Currently Undergoing Cancer Treatment?
Our specialised exercise program is meticulously designed to support individuals facing various types of cancer at any stage of their journey — whether it's breast, prostate, lung, ovarian, colorectal, or brain cancer.
Lymphoedema & Physiotherapist
Lymphoedema, a condition that often accompanies cancer treatment, can bring discomfort and swelling. Our expert physiotherapists specialise in helping you manage this condition, promoting healing and enhancing your quality of life.
Oncology Exercise Physiology
Our dedicated Oncology Exercise Physiologists are here to support you at every step of your cancer journey. Through tailored exercise programs, we aim to reduce cancer recurrence, improve your survival rates and help you manage the side effects of treatment.
Unlock the Healing Power of Exercise
Recent research highlights the potential of exercise in reducing the recurrence risk of cancer, improving survival rates during and after cancer treatments, and effectively managing treatment side effects.
This breakthrough discovery inspired us to develop the CanConquer Program, dedicated to assisting cancer patients in the Illawarra region to reclaim their lives from the clutches of this disease.
CanConquer’s Exercise Oncology Program
Led by our dedicated physiotherapists and exercise physiologists, this program blends elements of yoga, stretching, invigorating aerobic step routines, and muscle-strengthening pilates. It's a proven formula that enhances your mobility, endurance, and strength.
Our exercise oncology clinic, situated in Corrimal near Wollongong Hospital, is conveniently positioned for close collaboration with your oncology team. This proximity enables easy coordination of your Exercise Oncology sessions with your chemotherapy treatments, requiring just a short drive to the clinic.
It’s Biochemistry
CanConquer program assists you through your cancer journey, supported by robust research. It empowers recovery, stimulates vascularisation of tumour cells and inhibits tumour growth.
What’s the science say about
Deep Oscillation Therapy?
A gentle add-on to lymphoedema care. Deep Oscillation Therapy (DOT) uses a low-frequency pulsed electrostatic field to create soothing, deep vibrations in the tissue (not heat or ultrasound).
This helps move trapped fluid, ease discomfort, and soften tight or fibrotic areas. We use it alongside gold-standard care, compression, exercise, and manual lymphatic drainage, and we track your progress at each visit so changes are clear over time.
Early clinical studies in breast cancer-related lymphoedema report that adding Deep Oscillation to standard therapy can reduce pain and improve tissue feel/softness, with patients generally tolerating it well. Evidence is still emerging, so we use it as part of a personalised, outcomes-focused plan rather than a stand-alone cure.
What is LmphaTech 3D scanning?
LymphaTech lets us take quick 3D measurements of your affected site to track true volume changes from visit to visit. That means we can spot small shifts early, before they become bigger problems, and tailor compression, hands-on care, and exercise with objective data.
This “measure early, monitor often” approach is backed by leading guidelines and research showing that proactive, objective surveillance helps detect lymphedema sooner and supports better outcomes.
Why 3D scanning? It’s designed to be reliable and repeatable compared with tape measures, giving consistent numbers we can compare over time, so we can both see progress clearly at each visit.
Overcoming the
Challenges of Cancer
Road to Recovery
At CanConquer, our mission is to facilitate your return to the life you led before your cancer diagnosis or potentially even a better one. Our team focuses on post-operative care, lymphoedema therapy, and exercise physiology to address various facets of your well-being.
Lymphoedema Treatments
The resilient lymphatic system regulates toxins, bolsters the immune system, and maintains fluid balance. However, lymphoedema poses a challenge, especially after cancer surgeries or radiation.
Through diverse strategies and compassionate care, we tirelessly work to manage lymphoedema. Early detection using our Sozo Ldex machine before surgery and ongoing monitoring ensures more manageable solutions.
