Coming next week… 💛
Cancer Rehab Awareness Week 2025

Cancer Rehab Awareness Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of the vital role cancer rehabilitation and exercise play in recovery.

This Year’s Theme: Your Recovery Deserves Support

In 2025, our focus is intentionally person-centred — recognising that recovery is about so much more than removing the disease. It’s about restoring strength, rebuilding confidence, and reclaiming the ability to fully participate in life.

Throughout the week, you’ll hear what recovery support truly means — from people living with and beyond cancer, their families, and the physiotherapists who walk alongside them.

With your support, we aim to:
✅ Increase the visibility and value of cancer rehabilitation
✅ Break down misconceptions about who it’s for and when it should start
✅ Reach those suffering in silence, believing nothing can be done
✅ Promote equitable access to rehab for all ages, cancer types, and communities

A huge thank you to the organisations who’ve already joined the collective voice of this campaign. Support doesn’t just change recovery — it transforms lives, strengthens whānau, empowers workplaces, and builds healthier, more connected communities.

Together, let’s make support part of every recovery story. 💛

Cancer Rehab Awareness Week
18 - 24 August 2025

This annual campaign aims to raise awareness of the importance of rehabilitation and exercise in cancer recovery. For many people, this support can be the difference in helping them regain the ability to walk or return to their normal daily activities.

Restoring health is much more than just removing disease. If people miss out on rehab, it impacts their ability to work, their families, their long-term health, and their communities.

Please help us spread the message during Cancer Rehab Awareness Week. Let’s make support part of every recovery story!

Great Article by Lou James from Pinc and Steel “So when we talk about rehabilitation and exercise after cancer, we’re not just talking about reps and sets. We’re talking about reconnecting with your body.”

After cancer, many people are told to “get back to normal” — but what happens when your body doesn’t feel like yours anymore? At PINC & STEEL, we work with people every day who feel let down by their bodies. They’ve been through surgery, chemotherapy, radiation — and survived — but are...

Another great article and study...

A brisk walk several times a week could also cut the risk of death by a third, a global study has found.

Further evidence that the work we do helps fight cancer....

First clear evidence that structured exercise regime reduces risk of dying by a third, can stop tumours coming back or a new cancer developing

What do physiotherapists do for people diagnosed with cancer?
Cancer rehabilitation is a supportive health care program. It can help with mobility, fatigue, cognitive and memory problems caused by cancer and its treatment.

These problems can make it harder to do daily activities, return to work, or continue cancer treatment. They can have a lasting effect on health and overall quality of life.
The goals of cancer rehab are to:
• Help you stay as active as possible and participate in family, work, and other life roles
• Lessen the side effects and symptoms of cancer and its treatment
• Help you stay as independent as possible
• Improve your quality of life

 We spend much of our day, recognising the strengths inherent in the person in front of us, asking curious questions that might lead an individual to see a vision of hauora/ wellbeing, that has felt tenuous since their diagnosis of cancer.
 In practical terms, we provide hands on techniques designed to alleviate pain, improve function and mobility, including work with scar tissue.
 We also work to develop individualised solutions for the person’s most important impairments – often this is fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, balance or mood disorders.
 Often this involves navigating a path to activity that supports a person’s energy and hope for a life they recognise as their own once again.

We’re based in Kāpiti. We’d be so pleased to see you or your loved one in clinic soon.
