Exercise is Medicine for Cancer - Not Advice, Not Lifestyle…
Lung cancer is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia. Exercise can help minimise the effects of cancer treatment-related side effects, including cancer-related fatigue and the risk of longterm heart problems. Exercise can also minimise the loss of bone strength, reduce the risk of developing lymphoedema, improve anaemia and enhance quality of life.
Well prescribed Exercise as Medicine (EAM) is valuable throughout all stages of lung cancer to manage anxiety and stress and implement positive targets and goals throughout the treatment plan.
At Chronic Care Australia, we’ve developed a targeted Exercise Medicine program designed to enhance both the physical and mental health of those living with lung cancer. Programs are available onsite at our Cottesloe clinic or via the Virtual Care Clinic for clients across Australia.
