What is Oncology Rehabilitation?

Oncology rehabilitation is a specialized therapy service focused on addressing the physical impairments and side effects caused by cancer or its treatments—such as chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. This type of rehabilitation program is led by trained physical and occupational therapists with expertise in oncology care.

Treatment is tailored based on:

• Type and stage of cancer
• Treatment received (e.g., radiation, chemotherapy, or surgical procedures)
• Your individual recovery goals and daily activity needs

At Ivy Rehab, we prioritize function, strength, and quality of life, working closely with your oncology care team to create a coordinated plan that evolves with your condition.
