Cancer Rehabilitation Programs Sydney

Reconditioning Program

Recovering from a major injury, illness, or surgery can be tough and take a long time. Often, it means spending a lot of time in bed and not being as active. This lack of activity can lead to a decrease in how well your body works and overall physical weakening or deconditioning.

The impact of deconditioning

Deconditioning refers to the changes in the body that can occur during a period of inactivity. The changes happen in the heart, lungs, and muscles resulting in:

  • Weakness and tiredness
  • Shortness of breath with minor physical exertion
  • Pain or discomfort with activity
  • Decreased strength, endurance, and balance

The impact of deconditioning can vary in severity and may impede daily activities like walking, running errands, or leaving the house. In more severe cases, it can significantly hinder basic self-care tasks such as using the bathroom, showering, or dressing.

Rehab outcomes

Thankfully, reconditioning rehabilitation offers the potential to mitigate or reverse these effects, enabling you to regain a level of fitness and function similar to what you previously enjoyed. This is accomplished through:

  • Improving strength and endurance
  • Improving mobility and balance
  • Improving fine motor skills
  • Reducing chronic pain
  • Reducing fatigue
  • Reducing social isolation
  • Improving mental health
  • Managing stress
  • Finding new or alternate ways of doing daily living activities
