EXERCISE ONCOLOGY — NOW PART OF OUR PRACTICE

A cancer diagnosis can change so much about your life. But movement doesn't have to stop.

At Smal Biokineticist, we are expanding our services to include a specialised focus on Exercise Oncology!

Exercise Oncology involves the individualised prescription and supervision of exercise for people affected by cancer, taking into consideration their diagnosis, treatment, symptoms, physical capacity and goals.

Research continues to show that appropriately prescribed exercise can play an important role in helping people:
🏃‍♀️ Manage cancer-related fatigue
💪 Maintain muscle strength and physical function
❤️ Support cardiovascular fitness
🧠 Improve mood and overall wellbeing
🦴 Maintain bone and physical health
🌱 Regain confidence in their bodies
🔄 Return to everyday activities and exercise after treatment

Exercise is not a replacement for cancer treatment. Rather, it can form an important part of supportive care alongside your oncology team. And this is something that has become especially meaningful to me personally.

I never expected cancer to become part of my own story. After being diagnosed with melanoma and beginning my own treatment journey, I found myself looking at Exercise Oncology not only as a professional field — but from the patient's perspective too.

That experience has strengthened my passion for helping others understand:

“What CAN I safely do?”

rather than simply being told:

“Just rest.”

Our existing Biokinetic services will continue as normal, with Exercise Oncology now being added as a specialised area of focus from October 2026.

If you or someone you love is living with cancer, going through treatment, or rebuilding strength after treatment, we'd love to help you move forward — safely, appropriately and at your own pace.

I didn’t expect cancer to become part of my story… but here we are...

I’m a Biokineticist with a MSc. Medicine degree. I help people move better, rehabilitate injuries, get stronger pre- and post operations, improve their physical function after a stroke or heart attack, help with sport performance and ultimately feel better.

I’m a mom, a wife. I’m active. I was training for HYROX…

And then I was diagnosed with melanoma (most fatal and dangerous skin cancer).

After major surgery to remove the melanoma and assess my lymph nodes, pathology showed a small metastatic deposit in one of my lymph nodes, resulting in a Stage III melanoma diagnosis.

And suddenly… everything changes.
The first thing people say is…
“Just rest.”
“Don’t push yourself.”

And yes — rest and recovery are incredibly important during cancer treatment... BUT so is movement.

The right, appropriately prescribed exercise can help manage cancer-related fatigue, maintain muscle strength and physical function, support independence, and improve overall quality of life.

And that’s something I want to help change the conversation around.

So I made a decision…
I’m not stepping away from movement — I’m stepping INTO something bigger.

My practice will continue to offer Biokinetic services as always, but I’m now adding a specialised focus in Exercise Oncology — using evidence-based exercise principles to support people before, during and after cancer treatment.

And now, I’m going to experience this from both sides:
As a Biokineticist, helping others navigate exercise through cancer…
And as a patient, navigating my own treatment journey.

If you’re going through something similar — feeling tired, overwhelmed, or unsure about what exercise is safe for you…
You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Follow along.
I’m taking you through this journey with me. 🤍

Something is coming… 👀

This has been on my heart for a while now.

Something deeper. More intentional. More meaningful.

A new focus.
A new direction.
A space where movement, strength, and healing come together 🤍

I’m not ready to share everything just yet…
…but trust me — it’s something I truly believe in.

This August...
Watch this space. ✨

Knee pain

Whether from injury, overuse, or surgery—requires structured rehabilitation to restore full function. After procedures like partial or total knee replacements, early movement and guided exercise are critical. Patients can typically begin rehabilitation (Physiotherapy) within days post-surgery, focusing on mobility, muscle activation, and gradual strength progression.

Biokinetic rehabilitation plays a key role in improving joint stability, muscle strength, walking mechanics, and overall function, helping you return to daily activities faster and more safely. For non-surgical knee pain, targeted rehab corrects muscle imbalances and movement patterns, preventing long-term damage.

What to avoid: prolonged inactivity, skipping rehab, or returning to activity without restoring strength and control.

With the right guidance, recovery is faster, safer, and more complete.

Don’t skip the process—do it right.

Walking is one of the simplest and most effective forms of exercise. It supports cardiovascular health, improves joint mobility, boosts mood and contributes to better long-term physical and mental wellbeing.

While walking is beneficial for almost everyone, the way you walk matters too. Biokineticists assess your gait, posture and movement patterns to identify any imbalances or inefficiencies that may be affecting how your body moves. They can also prescribe a personalised walking programme, helping you walk more efficiently, reduce discomfort and progress safely towards your health goals.

Regular, moderate exercise supports immune function by improving circulation and helping the body regulate inflammation.

Biokineticists prescribe movement at the right intensity, helping individuals improve health without overtraining. Movement supports resilience - inside and out.
