If you are a cancer survivor, cancer rehabilitation can teach you how to address the side effects that you experience both during and after treatment. Rehabilitation can help you to get back to your normal activities and enjoying time with family and friends. Physical therapists can help you regain strength, motion, balance, and stamina. Specially trained physical therapists address issues related to sex, bladder and bowel function, and neck, tongue, or mouth stiffness associated with head and neck cancer. Speech language therapists can help you address cognitive issues like memory, as well as speech and swallowing issues. Occupational therapists can help you perform everyday tasks with less difficulty. You may set your own goals for your cancer rehab and your therapist may suggest other goals to work toward. For many people, the goals are as simple as independence, improved quality of life, and being able to return to work. For others, goals may be very specific, including return to high level activities.
