Our team of Exercise Physiologists have done 4-6 years of study at University to learn about how Exercise can be used to manage and improve various chronic health and lifestyle conditions. In addition, we undertake ongoing professional development to ensure that we are up to date with current research - this ensures that we provide the most appropriate exercise to our clients according to their particular health situation and goals. Whilst yes, we are all about attaining results, we also treat every person with kindness, empathy warmth and understanding.

Did you know that exercising immediately prior to chemotherapy infusions can hold some really positive benefits?

Current research shows that engaging in exercise 30 minutes prior to chemo treatment can help with the following:

✔️ Increased blood flow and oxygenation, which supports chemotherapy effectiveness through improved drug delivery

✔️ Reduces side effects, including cancer-related fatigue and anxiety/depressive symptoms

✔️ Improves immune system response further supporting chemotherapy effectiveness

Aim for 10-20 mins of exercise immediately prior to your chemotherapy infusion.

This could be as simple as parking/being dropped off further from the clinic and walking in or stair climbing within the clinic. Or, if accessible and appropriate, this could look like a gym based exercise program.

Remember, all situations are unique, and it is essential to seek clearance from your medical professional before commencing.

We have three amazing exercise physiologists on the team who have a special interest in the cancer rehabilitation space. The benefits of exercise during cancer treatment and post cancer treatment are huge. The key is an individualised program to suit you, and we can help to tailor your program accordingly (especially when experiencing side effects).

A diagnosis of breast cancer can make even the simplest activities feel like a monumental task. Navigating a calendar full of appointments, surgery, and treatment protocols is exhausting, and some days fatigue hits like a wave before you have even left the house.

While the journey can make exercise feel daunting, movement is actually one of the most powerful tools for improving symptoms, building strength, and increasing your energy levels.
..

Why Exercise Matters:

For people navigating breast cancer, low exercise tolerance is common. Over time, this can lead to physical deconditioning, where muscles weaken and fitness declines, which can actually make fatigue worse. Regular exercise helps reverse that cycle.

Clinical research shows that exercise can be a key part of your treatment plan. Maintaining your strength and fitness can help you tolerate treatment more effectively.
...

Regular, supervised movement can:

🩷Increase energy: Exercise stimulates your cells to produce more energy, helping to recharge your battery.

🩷 Preserve bone and heart health: Resistance training protects bone density and cardiovascular function, which is especially important during hormonal therapy.

🩷Improve circulation: Movement encourages lymphatic drainage and blood flow, helping to manage the risk of lymphedema and keeping joints mobile.

🩷Support mental wellbeing: Physical activity releases endorphins that help manage the anxiety and stress that often accompany a diagnosis.

Exercise can help to:

✔️ Improve energy levels

Every person is different, as is the type of cancer treatment that they receive and the way that we respond to it.

Are you looking to improve your shoulder strength and stability or posture?

Here's a series of exercises targeted at improving scapula stability, rotator cuff strength and endurance, and posture.

In this video, exercise physiologist Chris shows us the following exercises:

Train tracks with band
Standing horizontal row
Wall push up into push-up plus
Lat pull down

As always, if you need guidance on technique or whether these exercises are suitable for you, make an appointment with an Exercise Physiologist.

Resistance/strength training and impact exercise are very important to help strengthen our bones. And whilst yes, we HIGHLY encourage that those who have been diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia to engage in this type of exercise, we also highly recommend that EVERYONE engages in strength training, even without diagnosis of osteoporosis.

Why? Engaging in the right type of exercise can be one way to help reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis. And for those diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia, it is still possible to improve your bone health and slow the progression of the disease!

Whilst the earlier we start our strength training, the better...it is NEVER too late to start and improve your bone health. And it is never too late to start thinking about your future bones!

There are certain groups who might be at increased risk of developing osteoporosis as well, such as: perimenopausal women, particular cancer treatments, those who have coeliac disease or crohns disease, those who have a family history...it is extra important to chat to your GP about learning more about getting a DEXA scan, knowing where your bones are at, and engaging with an exercise physiologist to develop an appropriate exercise program.

Our exercise physiologists are here to help! We are located on Karalta Road in Erina 💪

We LOVE strength training at Conveniently Active for all ages and stages of life...our eldest client is 102! We certainly do promote gradually increasing load and intensity to help with our bone density, our metabolic health, and our daily functional strength and mobility goals!

Lately, you may have been hearing about the benefits of lifting heavier weights for bone health - and we are all on board! Our exercise physiologists are here to help our clients lift more load SAFELY and at a pace that suits them.

And whilst lifting weights is super effective for our bone strength, we also need to remember other areas of exercise to assist with core, pelvic floor, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, balance...

So yes, we do love our strength training , we also need to remember things such as our core, pelvic floor, and balance, which often are developed with different types of training.

Hopefully, this does not confuse too much!! If it does, our exercise physiologists are here to help. The key is to individualise your program to suit where you are currently at and where you want to go!
