After treatment for sarcoma you may benefit from rehabilitation services. They can offer specialist advice and treatment that aids your recovery and helps you to deal with the effects of cancer and its treatment.
Rehabilitation services include:
Occupational therapy
Occupational therapists assess your ability to carry out daily living activities such as washing, dressing and meal preparation. They can also help you return to normal daily activities such as work, parenting, and leisure activities.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapists help you return to as active a lifestyle as possible. They will help you strengthen your muscles and ensure your joints regain as much mobility as they can.
This may involve designing a special exercise programme, providing advice about managing tiredness or teaching you to use equipment to help you walk or to support your joints.
Dietary services
Dieticians assess whether you need any special diet and can advise on the most appropriate nutritional support to help you before, during and after treatment.
