In the past it was assumed that the best advice to give anyone diagnosed with cancer was to rest as much as possible. However, research has shown that too much rest may result in the loss of stamina, muscle tone and bone strength.

There is a growing awareness among many health professionals that by prescribing exercise as part of a cancer care package to people living with cancer they can not only reduce the side effects of cancer treatment but can also reduce the risk of cancer recurring.

For this intervention to be successful there needs to be professionally trained fitness instructors who can give the correct advice and who are able to design individual physical activity programmes for each person to aide their recovery.

CanRehab can provide this specialised training and we are looking to raise £3,000 to help us promote our cancer and exercise rehabilitation training courses to fitness instructors across the U.K. Allowing them to actively assist and encourage people living with cancer on their road to recovery.
