Cancer Physical and Occupational Therapy Programs
Share
Duke Physical and Occupational Therapy works with cancer patients to help alleviate pain associated with cancer and cancer treatment. We develop exercise and education programs focused on helping patients regain their mobility and perform activities of daily living.
Increasing mobility and performing activities of daily living are proven means for increasing the physical, spiritual, and psychological well-being for patients undergoing cancer treatment.
Our physical and occupational therapists provide oncology therapy for:
- Solid tumors
- Leukemias and lymphomas
- Stem cell (bone marrow) transplantation
- Cancer-related fatigue
- Tumor cord compression
- Recovery from curative and palliative surgeries
- Pulmonary and balance disease or treatment side effects
- Steroid myopathy
Patients on our bone marrow transplant unit have access to their own personal gym and are closely supervised by our team.
