Our Approach
Exercise Therapy: The best treatment and prevention strategy for cancer-related fatigue
We are Canada’s only dedicated medical service delivering targeted exercise therapy for cancer-related fatigue. It may seem backwards, but 30 years of research has shown exercise is the single most effective therapy for treating and preventing cancer fatigue.
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Tests (CPETs):
CPETs help pinpoint the causes of your fatigue, which become the main treatment targets within your Personalized Care Plan and exercise program.
Individualized Exercise Prescription:
One-size does not fit all. Our team develops targeted exercise plans to address the specific causes of your fatigue that are tailored to fit your life.
Supervised Exercise Therapy:
Guided by our Exercise Therapists and overseen by our physicians, your exercise is delivered in a safe and supportive environment.
High-quality exercise studies show that aerobic exercise training has the largest effect on reducing fatigue.
Like medications, exercise works best if you receive the correct dose (i.e. the right duration and intensity)!
‘Underdoing it’ can be ineffective, but ‘overdoing it’ can be harmful!
