HOW IT WORKS
THE FIRST SESSION
- Your oncology exercise physiologist gains an understanding of your cancer journey and health goals, before developing a program together to improve health.
THE PROGRAM
- The effects of cancer treatment on each individual are assessed and accommodated with symptom-titrated adjustments and progressions.
- Sessions are all individualised, supervised, and provided one-on-one, or can include a friend or group exercise if preferred.
EMPOWERMENT
- You are empowered to complete your program outside of supervised sessions, using the EXPHYS app, and involving friends and family.
- We ensure collaboration with other members of your support and healthcare team.
DURATION & DELIVERY
Flexible and convenient delivery methods.
The program is three months in duration, with instances where it may be shorter or longer and generally involves weekly or fortnightly appointments.
Appointments are half-hour to one-hour and will work around your other health and medical commitments.
The program is delivered face-to-face or via telehealth. We come to you for face-to-face sessions at a location that is convenient and comfortable for you. This could be at home, outdoors, in a park, hospital, gymnasium, or pool.
