As part of our integrative approach to cancer treatment, Eastern Regional Medical Center offers oncology rehabilitation services to promote a physical fitness regimen for you, consisting of cardiovascular, flexibility and strength training. Together, these activities are designed to help you reduce stress, prevent fatigue and improve overall quality-of-life.
Equipped with an integrated team of Physical Therapists (PTs), Occupational Therapists (OTs), Speech and Massage Therapists, the rehabilitation services team strives to educate oncology patients on the physical and psychological benefits physical fitness imparts within your treatment process.
Prior to initiating therapy, a thorough physical evaluation will be conducted for you by a member of the physical therapy team. Part of this initial evaluation consists of a functional assessment, measuring your ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs). Once this assessment is complete, an individualized physical therapy plan will be created for your specific needs. Your plan may include an exercise program, manual therapy, and occupational therapy.
