Gastrointestinal Oncology Physical Therapy

Gastrointestinal Oncology Physical Therapy focuses on helping cancer patients with digestive system cancers, such as those affecting the stomach, intestines, or pancreas. This specialized therapy aims to improve physical function, reduce pain, and enhance quality of life through tailored exercises and rehabilitation strategies. Therapists work with patients to address issues like fatigue, mobility, and the side effects of treatment. By promoting strength and endurance, the goal is to support recovery and help individuals regain independence after surgery or chemotherapy, ultimately contributing to better overall health during and after cancer treatment.
