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, 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.
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.
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.
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.
CanConquer program assists you through your cancer journey, supported by robust research. It empowers recovery, stimulates vascularisation of tumour cells and inhibits tumour growth.
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.
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.
45-minute consultation to understand your unique situation, understand your condition and treatment protocol and provide appropriate education around the treatment options.
30-minute consultation/s to work through individualised programs, specific to your needs and suitable for your ability. This time allows you to become familiar with your program and how your body should feel during and after a session.
The best and most effective plan will be scheduled to ensure you have a clear plan in place to help you get the BEST outcomes!
