Maple Tree Cancer Alliance® has clinical partnerships all around the country to help you as you walk through cancer treatment.
We provide individualized exercise programs—both in person and virtually—to help relieve some of the side effects related to cancer treatment.
WHY EXERCISE ONCOLOGY?
The role of exercise in relieving cancer treatment related side effects has been extensively investigated and has produced promising results. Research indicates that the combination of aerobic exercise and strength training improves the quality of life and overall physical fitness for cancer survivors.
The Maple Tree Cancer Alliance® employs certified exercise oncology instructors who design a personalized, structured progression of cancer rehabilitation for each patient from the initiation of cancer treatment throughout cancer remission. In general, four basic phases of rehabilitation are employed:
PRE-HAB
Pre-hab exercises
PHASE 1
Patients who are presently receiving chemotherapy or radiation.
PHASE 2
Patients who only had surgery or hormone treatment, or have completed chemotherapy or radiation.
PHASE 3
Patients who complete Phase II exercise program.
TRAINING OPTIONS
Maple Tree Cancer Alliance currently offers two options for training – virtual training via the internet, or in-person appointments at our facilities.
