Cancer Therapy Stays Fit in the Fight Against Cancer

June 4, 2013 - PRLog -- Fatigue, loss of appetite, and a decrease in mobility functions are common side effects of cancer treatment; however, there is a new program to help people living with cancer regain and improve  energy levels, agility and over-all health right in the comfort of their home.

Suzanne Andrews, Rehab Therapy Clinician and star of Functional Fitness on PBS TV, guides participants through this gentle therapeutic workout utilizing the same movements taught in physical therapy to patients living with cancer and people in remission practicing healthy lifestyles to help prevent a recurrence.

Although experts are in the early stages of drawing parallels between exercise and cancer, studies - according to Cancer.gov, are hopeful which say cancer patients that engage in physical activity have higher survival rates than sedentary patients.  

Physical therapy is known to decrease the risk for certain cancers and other serious illnesses. What's more, recent studies suggest that physical therapy can also improve overall health and quality of life for those who have already been diagnosed with the disease: this includes people who have just been diagnosed, those currently in treatment and even those in remission.

Experts identify this holistic approach to cancer recovery as having numerous benefits including:

1. Improved Appetite: malnutrition and dehydration are often caused by cancer treatment.  Nourishment is vital to fight off infections and heal the body. Suzanne Andrews Cancer Therapy workout - though not rigorous helps to stimulate the appetite.

2. Increase Energy Level: like a shot of caffeine in the blood stream, exercise can have an immediate energizing affect. It increases adrenaline and oxygen levels in the blood helping the body increase circulation and boost energy.

3. Improved Bodily Functions: Pain medications and chemotherapy  often affect a person's bowel and urinary function as well as decreasing mobility and increasing stress. By focusing on techniques to help alleviate the toxic response in the body, Cancer Therapy participants will improve their quality of life and descrease stress.

4. Decrease Risk of Depression and Anxiety: As you monitor your steady progress it will no doubt offer a sense of pride and confidence. Suzanne Andrews Cancer Therapy also has physiological benefits because it promotes a release of endorphins to the brain. Endorphins, "the happy hormone", can decrease your risk of depression and anxiety.

With a run time of 26 minutes you can be sure to have a stamina building workout without the rigor. Cancer Therapy allows participants to take an active role in their recovery which will not only improve your physical health but your self-confidence.
