Seated Doesn't Mean Easy: Adaptive Fitness for Your Oncology Patients
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Too often, people living with and beyond cancer are sidelined from fitness—not because they can’t exercise, but because programs aren’t designed with their unique needs in mind.
In this episode, Elise talks with Dr. Kaci and Dr. Reed Handlery, PTs, about building inclusive, sustainable community-based programs for people with mobility challenges—including those living with and beyond cancer.
From the CSM stage to real-world community impact, Kaci and Reed share how they’re creating inclusive, adaptable programs that meet patients where they are—and empower them to go further.
You’ll learn:
- The role of seated, high-intensity movement for oncology patients
- How to adapt exercise creatively for mobility impairments and other barriers
- What it takes to build and sustain inclusive fitness programs in your community
- How to identify and empower community champions to keep patients engaged
And best of all: you’ll be inspired to rethink what's possible in your exercise prescription—inside and outside the clinic.
Listen now to discover how you can bring this innovative, adaptable approach to your oncology patients!
If you want a structured way to get started on your ABPTS oncology case report, I'm hosting a LIVE writing sprint later this month where we'll work through this together.
