The physiotherapist will ask specific questions about your condition before carrying out a physical examination, which may include assessing joint movement, muscle power, co-ordination, posture and function. On completing the assessment, they can compile a bespoke treatment plan specific to your needs.
Massage can help to reduce tension and stress, ease aching muscles, improve circulation and promote relaxation. This may help to alleviate some of the symptoms you may experience and the side effects of treatments.
Lymphoedema is a chronic swelling caused by a failure in lymph drainage, which can be a side effect of cancer or its treatment. Many of our hospitals provide specialised treatment involving massage, compression garments, exercise and education on self-management. This will help you recognise the signs and symptoms as well as how to manage your condition. This is especially important as prompt access and early treatment helps to achieve good results.
Being active both during and after your treatment has a range of health benefits:
Our physiotherapists are trained in finding the appropriate ways for you to be active, whether this is through individual assessment and advice or taking part in group exercise classes. These small friendly classes, available at some of the Circle Health sites, allow you to work at a level that is appropriate for you, and you can enjoy a relaxation session at the end of each class.
Breathlessness can be as a result of the illness itself, anxiety or a side effect from some of the medication used to treat the condition. Whatever the cause, breathlessness can be a frightening experience. Our physiotherapists can provide effective techniques to enable you to manage your breathlessness.
An initial assessment with a physiotherapist at Circle Health costs from £54*.
