Welcome to Physiotherapy Cancer Care

Physiotherapy Cancer Care is a unique physiotherapy service providing care for people living with cancer. It is run by a highly qualified Chartered Physiotherapist with sixteen years of physiotherapy experience, of which six years has been spent specialising in Oncology and Palliative Care.

Physiotherapy Cancer Care aims to support and care for people who have had their quality of life increased through improved treatments. The latter has lead to the need for rehabilitation, which is an integral part of your care from diagnosis onwards (The National Council for Hospice and Specialist Palliative Care Service 2000, Nice Guidelines on Supportive and Palliative Care 2004).

Physiotherapists have a large preventative, educative and supportive role to play in your management and can provide you with independent and complementary therapies for physical debility and pain (Rashleigh 1996). Therefore Physiotherapy Cancer Care provides a vital gap in the physiotherapy service delivery for people living with cancer.

In 2005 'Physiotherapist' became a protected title and can only be used by physiotherapists registered with the Health Professions Council (HPC).

 As a registered Chartered Physiotherapist, Physiotherapy Cancer Care is able to offer you treatments through some medical insurance companies. Please check under 'insurance' in the menu to see if your insurance company is listed.
