Cancer Rehabilitation
PINC & STEEL provides support to people affected by cancer, helping them take their first steps on the road to recovery.
If people don't get rehabilitated after cancer it can affect their ability to work, their families, their physical, emotional and social wellbeing and their long-term health.
Cancer rehabilitation and exercise can reduce side effects of the disease and debilitating cancer treatments, and can improve functional ability, quality of life and ultimately, survival.
PINC & STEEL helps reduce the burden and impact of cancer on patients and their families' lives.
