Cancer care doesn't end when treatment does.

For many people, completing cancer treatment brings a sense of relief. Appointments become less frequent, the medical team steps back, and attention turns towards rebuilding life beyond treatment.

Yet this is often when new challenges emerge.

Reduced strength, persistent fatigue, joint stiffness, lymphoedema risk and changes in physical confidence can develop gradually in the months and years following treatment. These issues are common, but they are not something you have to live with.

The earlier these issues are identified, the easier they are to address.

To support your wellbeing, we are offering existing ORSI patients 20% off a Physiotherapy Review throughout June.

A physiotherapy review isn't just about managing symptoms. It's an opportunity to understand where your body is now, recognise what has changed, and create a plan to support your long-term health, function and quality of life.

If you've completed cancer treatment and haven't had a review in some time, now may be a good opportunity to check in.

📩 Reach out via email: [email protected] or call 8018 8240 to book or learn more.
Mention code: MAINTENANCE20

T&Cs: Offer applies for new bookings with Priscila or Christopher.

For people affected by cancer, telehealth appointments can help maintain continuity of care without needing to attend the clinic in person. 💻

Through telehealth appointments, our physiotherapists can:
🔹 review progress between sessions
🔹 guide exercise therapy and rehabilitation
🔹 help manage symptoms and treatment side effects
🔹 provide education and reassurance
🔹 support self-management strategies

Telehealth helps bridge accessibility gaps in treatment, making it easier for people to stay connected to the care they need wherever they are.

There is often a period of time between a cancer diagnosis and the beginning of treatment that can be used to proactively support the body and mind before treatment starts.

This is known as prehabilitation (“prehab”); care provided before surgery or treatment to help improve strength, fitness, confidence and recovery outcomes. Instead of waiting until after treatment to begin rehabilitation, prehab focuses on preparing beforehand.

Depending on the individual and treatment plan, prehab may include:
🔹 A pre-operative assessment
🔹 Individualised exercise therapy
🔹 Baseline measurements
🔹 Lymphoedema education
🔹 Guidance around recovery and what to expect during treatment

Education and reassurance are an important part of prehab. Having a better understanding of treatment, recovery and potential side effects can help people feel more informed, supported and confident heading into this next stage of care.

Research has shown that prehabilitation may help reduce anxiety, improve physical function and support better recovery outcomes following treatment 💙

If you are preparing for cancer treatment or surgery, appointments can be booked via the link in our bio or by contacting the clinic directly.

For many people, the effects of cancer treatment don’t end when treatment finishes.

Years later, some people continue to experience significant muscle loss, weakness, posture changes and tightness that can impact daily life and overall quality of life.

In this video, we’re working with a patient following head and neck cancer treatment to help reduce soft tissue restriction, improve posture and build strength to better support everyday function.

Muscle health is an important part of cancer recovery and deserves greater attention throughout all stages of care, not just during treatment. 💙

Often many people don’t realise there are different types of massage therapy, each with a specific purpose depending on what your body is experiencing.

Massage therapy involves different approaches, with techniques guided by the underlying condition and areas of concern requiring treatment. Pain, muscle tightness, swelling & treatment-related side effects can each require a different approach, which is why understanding the role of oncology, remedial & lymphatic massage is important when choosing what’s most appropriate for you.

How each approach differs:
🔹 Oncology massage - adapted techniques to support individuals during or after cancer treatment, helping manage pain, fatigue, and treatment-related side effects.
🔹 Remedial massage - targeted techniques used to address muscle tightness, improve tissue mobility, and support functional movement.
🔹 Lymphatic massage - gentle, structured techniques to assist lymphatic drainage and help manage fluid build-up and swelling.

✨ May offer: Book a massage with Germaine and receive $20 off your appointment.
(Available for 1 session per person, for bookings with Germaine only, please mention this promotion when booking)

This is Project Garment Glow Up, our 2026 community event to raise awareness about the use of compression garments for the management of lymphoedema 💙

Over 300,000 Australians live with lymphoedema, yet it remains one of the most under-recognised and under-resourced conditions in cancer care.

This March, during Lymphoedema Awareness Month, we invited our community to bring in old compression garments and turn them into a collective art installation.

For many people, a cancer diagnosis doesn’t end with treatment. Living with a chronic condition like lymphoedema is often one of the harder parts to navigate.

Compression garments need to be worn every day. They need to be professionally fitted and regularly replaced every 6 months.

What we continue to see is that being around others who understand can make a real difference. It can help things feel a little less isolating.

That’s what Project Garment Glow Up was about.

Thank you to everyone who came along and contributed. A special thank you to local artist Paula Broom for hosting and guiding the workshop. 💙

Can’t make it into the clinic?

Our physiotherapists offer telehealth appointments, so you can still access care wherever you are.

For many people during or after cancer treatment, getting to appointments isn’t always straightforward — whether due to fatigue, reduced immunity, or needing to stay closer to home, telehealth can help bridge that gap and allow you to continue your treatment plan with the right support.

Through telehealth, we can:
🔹 review how things have been progressing between sessions
🔹 guide you through exercises in real time
🔹 problem-solve any changes or new symptoms
🔹 support self-management strategies at home
🔹 provide reassurance around what you’re experiencing

It’s a practical and flexible way to stay connected to your care and maintain consistency, even when you’re not physically in the clinic.
