Bowel Cancer Australia adds Exercise Physiologist to the team
Exercise plays an important role in bowel cancer prevention, treatment, recovery and recurrence. It can help reduce the number and severity of treatment-related side effects and symptoms such as pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, cognitive impairment, mental health wellbeing, low anterior resection syndrome (LARS), as well as improving or maintaining function during and following treatment.
Bowel Cancer Australia has welcomed Kailey to their Telehealth Support Services Team, offering information and advice about exercise to help people can manage bowel cancer treatment, recovery, and recurrence.
