Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy
Strength in Every Step: Cancer Rehabilitation for a Brighter Tomorrow
At Shankara Cancer Hospitals, we understand that the journey to recovery involves more than just medical treatment. Our comprehensive rehabilitation and physical therapy programs are designed to support you every step of the way, helping you regain your strength, mobility, and confidence.
Our physical therapists will prepare you both physically and mentally for your upcoming treatment. We’ll guide you through exercises to strengthen your body and optimise your lung capacity, ensuring you are ready for the journey ahead.
Post-surgery, you might experience some swelling, pain, or movement limitations. Our experts will help manage these issues, aiding in a smoother recovery process.
If lymph nodes are removed during surgery, you might develop lymphedema. We provide specialised care to manage and reduce this condition.
These treatments can cause muscle weakness, pain, and fatigue. Our rehabilitation programs are designed to help you stay active and regain your strength.
Rehabilitation helps you avoid long-term side effects and keeps you on the path to normalcy.
- Post-surgery swelling and pain.

Physical therapy is crucial in managing pain and discomfort during your cancer treatment.
Our goal is to help you regain strength and mobility. Through evidence-based techniques, we aim to preserve, restore, and optimise your body’s function.

Our rehabilitation programs ensure an improvement in the quality of your life, filling you with hope and confidence, to return to normalcy.
Before your surgery, our physiotherapists will guide you through breathing and spirometer exercises to strengthen your lungs.
We will help you mentally prepare for what’s to come, ensuring you are calm and ready.
After surgery, we will help you with small movements, walking, and sitting up from bed.
Continued support with breathing and spirometer exercises will be provided.
Our expert physiotherapists will tailor exercises to your specific needs, offering full physical and mental support
We focus on early recognition and simple management techniques to reduce discomfort and prevent the condition from worsening.
We train and counsel caretakers to augment the support given to you, ensuring a smoother recovery process.
Regular follow-ups with your physiotherapist are recommended for the best results and to prevent complications.
