Oncology Physiotherapist
Our oncology rehabilitation is led by Cathy Mitchell, a PINC Cancer Rehabilitation Physiotherapist. Cathy will assess each patient individually for physical impairments and the effects of their treatment. She can help you regain strength, manage discomfort and improve overall well-being throughout your cancer journey. Individualised treatment interventions will be designed to support you at every stage of your cancer treatment or recovery. Whether it’s returning to exercise, work, or daily life, targeted rehabilitation can make a positive impact on your quality of life during and after cancer treatment. Oncology Physiotherapy will provide you with information to help you feel more in control of your body and life again.
