Cancer Rehabilitation & Support
– Enhancing Recovery & Long-
Term Resilience

Cancer treatment affects multiple physiological systems, often resulting in muscle loss, metabolic dysfunction, immune suppression, and emotional distress. Addressing these post-treatment effects through targeted cancer rehabilitation can significantly enhance recovery outcomes and long-term quality of life.

Cancer is a battle that doesn’t end with the last treatment session. Survivors commonly experience persistent physical, metabolic, and psychological challenges—such as fatigue, muscle weakness, lowered immunity, and mental health struggles—that make recovery a complex and ongoing process.

At Good Fight, we provide a structured cancer rehabilitation program tailored to the unique needs of survivors. Our integrative approach combines physical therapy, personalised nutritional plans, gut health restoration, emotional support, and comprehensive long-term health monitoring. This holistic model helps individuals rebuild strength, regain balance, and reclaim a higher quality of life.

The Challenges of Cancer Recovery

Up to 70% of cancer survivors experience long-term side effects following treatment, with the most common challenges including muscle atrophy, metabolic imbalances, digestive issues, and psychological distress (Macmillan Cancer Support, 2021). Chemotherapy and extended periods of inactivity often result in sarcopenia—a loss of muscle mass and strength, which can reduce mobility and endurance. Metabolic dysfunction is also common, as cancer treatments can disrupt insulin sensitivity, hormone regulation, and lipid metabolism.

Additionally, survivors frequently struggle with digestive concerns due to gut microbiome disruption, leading to poor nutrient absorption, inflammation, and nutritional deficiencies. On an emotional level, many face lingering psychological effects such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and a persistent fear of recurrence, all of which can significantly impact quality of life.

Cancer rehabilitation is about more than just surviving—it’s about thriving. Our structured approach helps individuals rebuild their strength, optimise health, and regain confidence in life after cancer.

Muscle Loss & Physical Weakness

Prolonged inactivity and treatment side effects lead to reduced muscle mass, fatigue, and decreased mobility, affecting independence and daily life.

Metabolic Imbalances & Weight Changes

Cancer treatments can cause fluctuations in body weight, insulin resistance, and hormonal shifts, impacting long-term metabolic health.

Digestive Issues & Nutrient Deficiencies

Many individuals struggle with poor digestion, loss of appetite, and gut health imbalances, making it difficult to absorb essential nutrients.

Emotional Distress & Psychological Impact

Anxiety, depression, and trauma are common after cancer treatment. Many survivors experience fear of recurrence, stress, and post-treatment adjustment challenges.

How Our Cancer Rehabilitation Program Supports Recovery

Our structured, evidence-based rehabilitation program integrates key pillars of recovery. We implement a strength training strategy using progressive resistance training to reverse sarcopenia and improve mobility. There’s a dedicated focus on metabolic health, combining nutrition and physical activity to restore insulin sensitivity and energy metabolism. We place strong emphasis on creating targeted nutritional plans to strengthen the immune system and promote cellular healing.

Our program also supports cognitive and brain health through mindfulness practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and emotional resilience training. A science-driven approach to gut and microbiome health includes probiotic and prebiotic therapy, along with anti-inflammatory nutrition to enhance nutrient absorption and immune function. Additionally, our long-term monitoring and preventative care model features continuous biomarker tracking and recurrence risk assessments to guide ongoing recovery.

At Good Fight, we offer a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program designed to support cancer survivors at every stage of their recovery. Our approach focuses on:

Restoring physical strength and endurance through tailored exercise programs.

Optimising nutrition to boost immune function and reduce inflammation.

Addressing emotional and psychological well-being through trauma-informed therapy.

Improving digestive health to enhance nutrient absorption and restore gut balance.

Providing long-term monitoring to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence.

Our personalised rehabilitation plans help individuals regain control of their health and feel empowered in their recovery journey.
