Fighting cancer takes a huge toll on your body. Up to 90 percent of individuals with cancer experience painful, function-limiting consequences brought on by chemotherapy, radiation, and/or surgery.

Cancer rehabilitation therapists receive extensive training in oncology rehabilitation and understand the unique challenges people face while undergoing cancer treatment. They are compassionate clinicians who specialize in cancer rehabilitation because they want to help people thrive, not just survive.
