POSITIVE IMPACT OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE & ACTIVITY FOR CANCER PATIENTS
In the UK, there are around 375,000 new cases of Cancer every day (approximately 1,000 every day) with breast, prostate, lung and bowel cancers together accounting for over half (53%) of all new cancer cases (Cancer Research UK 2016-2018).
Improvements in cancer diagnosis and treatment mean that many people are living longer. Half of people diagnosed with cancer in England and Wales survive their disease for ten years of more (2010-11). However, many people are not living well as cancer treatments can have acute, chronic and delayed side effects. These and other complications can have an impact on a person’s on-going health and quality of life.
Evidence shows the positive impact that physical activity and exercise can have prior, during and post-cancer treatment. It can improve the side effects of treatments, reduce risk of relapse and increase life expectancy.
GOALS OF EXERCISE PROGRAMMES
To improve physical condition prior to treatment or prevent/reduce decline during cancer treatment.
To address specific side effects during and following cancer treatment, and
To optimise general health in the recovery period following cancer treatment.
HOW WE HELP
WE TAKE CLINICAL REFERALS & DIRECT CLIENTS
At Freeform Health and Fitness, we take both clinical referrals as well as direct clients and will always refer for medical clearance as required. We ask all new clients to complete a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire for Everyone (PAR Q+) and Physical Activity Readiness Medical Examination (EPARMED X +) which tells us whether it is necessary for the client to seek further advice from a doctor before becoming physically active. These enhance our risk stratification process to help us ensure clinical safety and duty of care when working with cancer patients. See https://eparmedx.com/
As with all clients, we will tailor programming based on client’s goals and information gathered during consultation and assessment. We will also work with clients to identify any potential barriers to exercise and aim to find workable solutions around them.
