Pediatric Oncology Physical Therapy

Pediatric Oncology Physical Therapy focuses on helping children who are diagnosed with cancer. These therapists work to improve the child's physical abilities, strength, and overall health during and after treatment. They create personalized exercise plans to address specific needs, such as increasing mobility, reducing fatigue, and managing side effects from treatments like chemotherapy or radiation. The goal is to support the child’s physical recovery, enhance their quality of life, and promote independence, all while providing a caring environment that understands the unique challenges faced by young cancer patients and their families.
