Department's Approach

The Department is a one-stop destination for all types of physiotherapy and rehabilitative treatments for cancer patients. A rehabilitation expert completes a thorough assessment that may include the patient’s health history, evaluation of pain and movement patterns, range of motion, strength, reflexes, sensation and cardio-respiratory status. They also examine relevant x-rays, laboratory tests, medical records and surgical notes. Based on this assessment, the therapist develops a diagnosis and works in partnership with the patient and treating team to plan individualized goals and treatment programs.

The Department also believes that patient education is an important part of delivering excellent medical care and the therapist weaves patient education opportunities into its daily rehabilitation activities. During these teaching moments, we use one-on-one discussions and teaching materials to educate patients about their medical condition and rehabilitative care.
