Meet The Cancer Physio

Lovely to meet you!

My name is Nadine and I am a registered physiotherapist with a specialization in oncology with over 13 years of rehabilitation experience. Along with advanced training in cancer rehab, I have additional training in breast cancer and head/neck cancers. This allows me to effectively diagnose cancer related conditions and offer personalized exercise.

A cancer journey has many moving parts. It may include treatments, surgeries, medications and at times an inability to work. Your journey is personal, hence rehab needs to be personalized as well.

Often little support is provided regarding treatment related side-effects; symptoms can be a burden and often remain undiagnosed and under discussed.

Cancer physio support can help you in all 5 phases of a cancer journey. Our rehab plans are personalized and backed by the latest research.

I've witnessed first hand the impact of timely and personalized rehab support allowing patients to gain agency over their symptoms; getting back to what makes them feel whole.

Support is available and I’m honoured to help.
