Exercise of the Day

While most cancer patients never consider engaging in an exercise program while undergoing cancer treatment intervention, there are a number of excuses why they feel that exercise is not an option.

Ironically, there are a number of research studies that have shown that there is a significant benefit to participating in a formal, prescriptive exercise program under direct supervision of a licensed Physical Therapist.

The Functional Restorative Lab at New Horizons Physical Therapy was created for the sole purpose to provide the opportunity for clients to reduce the many cancer treatment-related symptoms that up to 95% of cancer patients experience. These symptoms include:

• Debilitating physical fatigue
• Global muscle weakness
• Nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite, with resulting nutritional deficits
• Emotional stress, including depression and anxiety
• Cognitive difficulties, including loss of mental focus and memory lapses
• Sleep disturbances, including loss of deep sleep and fragmented rest
• Body image issues
• Lymphedema

By utilizing a prescriptive exercise approach to address the many side effects of cancer treatment, we have focused on identifying both the physiological and musculoskeletal deficits resulting from that treatment.

Your particiption in the customized, and personalized prescriptive exercise program will provide the opportunity for you to:

• Improve cardiovascular (heart and artery) capacity and endurance
• Improve pulmonary (lung) capacity and function
• Improve whole-body muscular strength and endurance
• Improve balance and coordination
• Improve range of motion and flexibility
• Reduce emotional stress, including depression and anxiety
• Improve sleep patterns, including depth and quality of sleep
• Improve nutritional uptake, enhancing overall bodily function
• Improve body composition and body image

The primary goal of the Functional Restorative Lab at New Horizons Physical Therapy is to create the opportunity for all cancer survivors to have a venue in which they can restore their prior lifestyle and regain their health and wellness.
