We asked our patients a question:
“What’s something you didn’t expect, but learnt through your experience?”

Some of our favourite responses touched on many different parts of cancer and recovery - the physical impacts of treatment, the pride in small everyday milestones, and the things people learn along the way that they never anticipated. They also spoke about the value of interaction with care teams and others going through similar experiences and how those connections can shape recovery just as much as the physical side of care. 💙

World Cancer Day - United by Unique 💙

Cancer care does not end when treatment is completed.

For many people, finishing surgery, chemotherapy or radiation is only one part of recovery. Fatigue, pain, stiffness, swelling, nerve symptoms, reduced strength, and changes in confidence with movement are common among people affected by cancer and its treatments.

Oncology physiotherapy is designed to support you after and alongside treatment. With the right guidance, movement can be rebuilt safely, symptoms can be managed, and strength and function can be restored in a structured and supported way.

When physiotherapy, exercise therapy and massage are integrated into recovery, support becomes more personalised, more responsive, and better aligned with what your body needs at each stage. 🌱

Every cancer experience is different. Recovery support should reflect that — care that recognises individual needs while remaining united by the shared goal of living well after cancer. 💙

Sharing our knowledge 💙

We believe that being well informed plays an important role in recovery, ongoing care and confidence with health decisions.

Our blog section, Sharing Our Knowledge, is where we share clear, evidence-based information on common topics that are relevant to many patients, written to be practical, accessible and easy to understand.

Our latest blog explores the role of low level laser therapy in cancer recovery, outlining how it may be used to support tissue healing, pain management, and recovery when clinically appropriate.

Whether you’re navigating your own recovery, supporting someone else, or simply wanting to better understand available treatment options, these resources are designed to help you feel informed and supported.

You can explore all of our blogs on the website under Sharing Our Knowledge.

Chronic pitting oedema in the lower limb can cause heaviness, discomfort and changes in mobility but with the right treatment, symptoms can be managed and improved over time.

Laser therapy and manual massage therapy techniques were used to support the foot and ankle, encourage fluid movement, reduce swelling, and improve tissue softness.

Targeted techniques like these play an important role in management and overall comfort for chronic odema conditions. 💙

Back into routine after the festive period 💙

The holiday period often brings changes to routine due to travel, time with family, rest or a natural pause in appointments and treatment.

As the new year begins, this can be an important time to re-establish maintenance and ongoing care. When regular treatment is interrupted, symptoms such as tightness, swelling, discomfort or fatigue can gradually return.

Maintenance care plays a key role in:
🔹 Supporting symptom management
🔹 Reducing the risk of flare-ups or progression
🔹 Maintaining strength, mobility and everyday comfort

Continuing care helps support stability over time and allows treatment to remain proactive, rather than reactive - guided, individualised, and tailored to your needs. 💙

As we step into the New Year, we wanted to pause and say thank you 💙

Thank you for trusting us with your care, for allowing us to support you through different stages of recovery, and for being part of our clinic community.

The past year was shaped by many meaningful moments: from coming together at community events like our slow-stitching art workshop during Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the 440 Challenge for Head & Neck Cancer awareness, to collaborating with other health professionals through in-services, celebrating patient milestones, and sharing team moments along the way. From familiar faces to new connections, we’re truly grateful to walk alongside you.

Wishing you a healthy, supported New Year ahead 💙

Exercises after DIEP Reconstruction – Stage 3 💙

As recovery continues following DIEP reconstruction, Stage 3 exercises help build on earlier phases by gradually increasing strength and control through the core.

This exercise series is designed to:
🔹 Improve abdominal strength and stability
🔹 Support controlled, functional movement
🔹 Encourage confidence with everyday tasks and activities

Recovery looks different for everyone, and progression should always feel guided and supported. Consistent, well-paced exercise can continue to play an important role in restoring function and comfort over time ⭐️
