Physiotherapy area
Oncology and lymphatic care
Maintaining movement and addressing symptoms during or after treatment.
Choosing what is possible today
The journey from bed to table may use a lot of energy during treatment. On another day, the person may want to walk outside. The clinician can adapt activity to these changes and the oncology team’s instructions.
How a home visit worksWhen to ask for advice
Fatigue, reduced mobility or swelling can affect daily life. Needs change throughout care.
Swelling in an arm or leg
Swelling calls for assessment and discussion with the medical team. The clinician considers lymphatic care only after checking the indication and precautions.
How care is planned
Assessment considers current treatment, medical precautions and personal priorities. Lymphatic care is considered only when indicated.
- Movement and adapted activity
- Managing fatigue
- Assessment of swelling
Before you get in touch
At first contact, say whether you need oncology care or an assessment for swelling. The clinician can then ask about treatment, symptoms and advice from your oncology team.
Common questions
Does swelling always mean I need drainage?
No. The clinician first assesses the swelling and checks the indication with the care team. Drainage is not the automatic response to every type of swelling.
Can I move during treatment?
Adapted activity is often possible, but the right level depends on how you feel, your treatment and medical precautions. Assessment helps decide what fits.
