CANCER CARE
Rehabilitation for cancer care in adults at HEJJE is aimed at promoting recovery, enhancing quality of life, and optimizing functional independence for individuals affected by cancer. Here’s how we approach rehabilitation for cancer care:
Comprehensive Assessment
We conduct a thorough evaluation to assess the physical, functional, psychosocial, and cognitive needs of individuals affected by cancer. This assessment guides the development of a personalized rehabilitation plan tailored to each individual’s specific needs and goals.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapists design individualized exercise programs to improve strength, flexibility, endurance, and mobility for individuals undergoing cancer treatment. Through targeted exercises, manual therapy techniques, and functional activities, we help individuals manage treatment-related side effects, reduce fatigue, and regain functional independence.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists focus on adapting activities of daily living to promote independence and quality of life for individuals affected by cancer. We provide training in energy conservation techniques, adaptive equipment, and lifestyle modifications to optimize function and participation in meaningful activities.
Lymphedema Management
For individuals experiencing lymphedema following cancer treatment, our rehabilitation team offers specialized lymphedema management services. This may include manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy, exercise, skin care, and education to reduce swelling and improve limb function.
Pain Management
We provide interventions to manage cancer-related pain, including medications, modalities such as heat therapy and cold therapy, relaxation techniques, and psychological interventions to alleviate pain and improve comfort.
Fatigue Management
Our team offers strategies and interventions to manage cancer-related fatigue, including energy conservation techniques, pacing activities, sleep hygiene, and stress management techniques to improve overall energy levels and quality of life.
Psychosocial Support
We recognize the emotional impact of cancer diagnosis and treatment and offer counseling, support groups, and coping strategies to address feelings of anxiety, depression, and distress. Our team provides emotional support, education, and resources to help individuals and their families cope with the challenges of cancer care.
Nutritional Counseling
We offer nutritional counseling and support to individuals affected by cancer to address malnutrition, weight loss, and dietary challenges during treatment. Our registered dietitians provide personalized nutrition plans to support overall health, energy levels, and treatment outcomes.
Survivorship Planning
We provide survivorship planning and support to individuals transitioning from active cancer treatment to post-treatment survivorship. This may include education on long-term side effects, health promotion strategies, and survivorship care planning to promote optimal health and well-being.
