Exercise Physiology for Cancer

True North Wellness Brisbane, a Pilates club located in Albany Creek, is excited to promote their upcoming Pilates event focused on Exercise Physiology for Cancer. This specialised program is designed to improve the health and well-being of individuals with cancer, and its benefits have been supported by extensive research in the field.

Led by Accredited Exercise Physiologists who specialise in cancer management, the program offers a safe and welcoming environment for participants. This is particularly important for those who may be immune compromised, as the private exercise setting ensures their comfort and safety throughout their journey.

The advantages of exercise for people with cancer are truly remarkable. Regular physical activity helps enhance muscle strength and mass, improves physical abilities for daily tasks, and boosts immune function. Additionally, exercise has been shown to contribute to improved completion rates of chemotherapy, as well as overall mood and self-esteem. It also reduces the length of hospitalisations, as well as psychological and emotional stress. Symptoms and side effects such as pain, fatigue, and nausea can be alleviated through exercise as well. Remarkably, engaging in regular exercise even lowers the risk of developing new cancers and other diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis.

At True North Wellness, the experienced Accredited Exercise Physiologists specialise in cancer care. They work closely with your healthcare team to ensure the best possible outcomes for your well-being. With expertise in managing various types of cancers including cervical, uterine, bowel and colorectal, lung, and haematological cancers, these practitioners provide personalised recommendations based on your abilities and current health status. The exercise therapy is gradually adjusted to match your body's tolerance and symptom experience, ensuring your safety and comfort throughout.

For those unsure of where to start, True North Wellness offers a Gap Free Assessment. This allows the practitioners to understand your current health status, goals, and develop a personalised plan to help you achieve them. The assessment is available at no out-of-pocket cost for individuals with private health coverage for Exercise Physiology.
