Fatigue Post-Cancer

Relieve Your Fatigue After Your Cancer Care

Thanks to advances in cancer treatment, survivorship rates have increased dramatically. Unfortunately, for many people, some challenges present themselves both during treatment and after the cancer battle has been won.

These challenges can be a result of the cancer itself or from the treatment. One of the side effects of cancer treatment both during cancer care and after is fatigue, especially for patients that have had to go through chemotherapy. However, at The Physical Therapy Institute, we truly believe that empowering the patient with knowledge is one key to appropriately managing and even eliminating these challenges.

Did you know exercise could help with fatigue?

At The Physical Therapy Institute, we understand that the LAST thing that you may want to think about is exercise due to your extreme fatigue. But it is worth considering.

Exercise has been proven to improve chemo uptake, as well as help in the recovery after a dosage. Additionally, exercise has also been proven to decrease your side effects in both the short and long term. Your fatigue will improve with a skillfully designed exercise program!

As stated by the American Cancer Society,

“Research studies have shown that physical activity during and after cancer treatment can decrease fatigue. Your healthcare team can refer you to exercise specialists (physical therapist, physical medicine, rehabilitation specialist) to help you with a safe exercise plan that can be modified to your condition. Yoga has helped improve sleep for some people with different types of cancer who are going through treatment.”
