This small step may make a big difference! If you don’t have your own, we have a supply at our reception desks for your convenience.

06.01.2022 Congratulations to our senior physiotherapist Angela Willsmore who this week completed her PINC & STEEL Men’s Cancer Rehab certification training, and her Next Steps Exercise Oncology certification training. After finishing her PINC women’s cancer rehab training earlier this year, Angela is now able to help everyone (men, women and children) affected by cancer in the Limestone Coast region to regain their full capacity and function after treatment and/or surgery. Cancer... rehab can begin at the time of diagnosis and there is really strong scientific evidence to support exercise as a cornerstone of all cancer treatment, at any stage in the recovery period. Please like, tag and share this post to help spread the word about this very important service now available in our region. Rural cancer patients are disadvantaged in so many ways, but their rehabilitation after treatment and/or surgery will no longer be one of them! If you or someone you know wants to find out more, please call Angela on 87621515, send a DM via Facebook or Instagram, or email [email protected]. #cancerrehab #noonemissesout #pincandsteel #physiotherapy #goodcountryphysio #limestonecoast #helpingourcommunity
