Exercise Consultations
The Exercise Counseling Program offers cancer patients a FREE, one-on-one, one-hour long exercise consultation. Patients leave the session with a customized exercise plan, which can include exercise demos and referrals. Clinical evidence has shown, regular exercise for cancer survivors can speed recovery, promote treatment effectiveness, and lessen side effects.

- Tailored exercises and activities to speed recovery

- Include demonstration of exercises
- Often include referrals to group exercise and yoga classes
- Include helpful tips and strategies for success
- Allow us to encourage patients to start and continue an exercise program
- Supplemented with follow-up telephone calls
