Why having a good bra is key
Based on the growing body of compelling research and evidence, exercise should be part of a cancer treatment plan.
A recent statement from COSA recommends 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise (walking, swimming) and 2-3 sessions of resistance exercise (weights, pilates) per week for cancer patients.
Evidence shows that exercise is safe during cancer treatment and provides many benefits including: attenuation of symptoms, improved physical function, alleviation of psychological distress and improved quality of life.
Given the complexity of a cancer diagnosis, it is important to make sure that exercise is prescribed by a health professional who is qualified to assess and advise, such as an oncology physiotherapist.
