In this educational presentation, Dr. Rodriguez Leboeuf discusses the potential side effects of cancer treatments as well as the role physiotherapy can play in your recovery. This educational session highlights the physical and emotional challenges that often follow surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, and how personalized rehabilitation can help patients regain function, confidence, and quality of life.
Managing the Side Effects of Cancer Treatment
As Dr. Leboeuf discusses, cancer treatments can impact several areas of the body. Physiotherapy can help address urinary, sexual, and ano-rectal dysfunctions that may occur after interventions such as surgery or radiation. Through techniques like pelvi-perineal re-education and guided movement, physiotherapists support patients in rebuilding strength and reducing discomfort in a safe, controlled way.
Why Exercise Matters After Cancer
The presentation emphasizes that exercise is not only safe for most survivors, it’s essential. Individualized exercise prescriptions can help combat fatigue, restore mobility, and prevent long-term complications.
