For the first time, an international trial has proved that exercise is a lifeline for those recovering from colorectal cancers.

The randomised controlled trial, verified in the New England Journal of Medicine, shows beyond doubt that exercise is essential to reduce cancer recurrence and improve survival for people recovering from colon cancer. Following the study, exercise coaches are being touted as the new standard of care for survivors.

Encompass Health is built on a holistic approach to health and can support you on your wellness journey. St George's Cancer Care Centre and the Cancer Society Southern offer three funded exercise sessions for their patients with its specialist physiotherapist. Our physio will guide you into a safe exercise programme and increase your flexibility, getting you back to a normal life more qu**ky.

The study is a breakthrough. It provides an exciting, accessible evidence-based wellness pathway that people of all fitness levels will benefit from.

Encompass Health also provides funded nutrition and counselling sessions.

To access your funded sessions and check your eligibility go to Home | Encompass health / email info@encompasshealth.org.nz / or phone +64 21 341 708.

We'd love to hear from you. It's what we are here for.
