Oncological physiotherapy is a safe and effective way to support cancer treatment and improve the quality of life of patients
Oncological physiotherapy is aimed at individuals dealing with cancer or those who have completed treatment, with the goal of improving their quality of life, alleviating side effects of cancer therapy, and enhancing limb function, for example, following breast mastectomy.
This type of physiotherapy is individually tailored to the patient's condition and needs, as well as the type and stage of cancer. At M-Klinik, experienced physiotherapists with extensive knowledge in oncology conduct rehabilitation.
The main goals of oncological physiotherapy include:
- Alleviating and preventing edema, thrombosis, respiratory system disorders, and other postoperative complications
- Reducing pain associated with cancer and therapy
- Increasing the body's capacity and resistance
- Improving range of motion and muscle strength weakened by treatment processes
- Delaying disease progression through activity and physical exercises
- Improving the quality of life for patients with advanced cancer, treated as a chronic disease
- Providing emotional and psychological support to patients during and after cancer treatment
