How Rehab Can Help

Oncology Rehabilitation can be beneficial for patients with cancer before, during, or after cancer treatments. At HRRMC, we offer one-on-one evaluation and collaborative development of a treatment program in coordination with your physician and care team to improve your quality of life as it relates to difficulties from cancer and subsequent treatment. We can work towards improving problems such as: fatigue, neuropathy, lymphedema, difficulty with urinary or bowel function, pelvic pain or pelvic muscle changes, speech and language difficulties, brain fog, swallowing or voice changes, balance and mobility, and scar tissue management.

  • Prehabilitation, or rehab services offered before cancer treatments begin, is important in order to help you prepare for treatments and potentially be able to tolerate treatment better.

  • Use this form to help understand what aspects of life oncology rehab can impact.
