Cancer Rehabilitation

Cancer Rehabilitation Certification Series

Cancer and its treatment regimens can cause a host of complications for therapy interventions and require new considerations to achieve desired outcomes. These five courses, together spanning 14 hours, approach both short- and long-term oncology rehab through risk assessment, side effects of chemotherapy, lymphedema considerations, and exercise prescription.

What this certification series will address:

As the treatments for various types of cancers continue to improve, there has been exponential growth in the survivors who are living longer than ever before. However, despite the advancements in medical treatment, not all patients are aware of how they can further improve the quality of survivorship. Patients are often not aware of the continuum of care, nor do they realize they can often improve functional impairments that plagued them during treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, drug therapy, and radiation.
