Helping PTs treat people with a cancer diagnosis more confidently & competently. π Start (& FINISH!) your oncology case report with this proven plan:
When we started The Cancer Rehab Community Conference, our mission was clear: to take the incredible #cancerrehab research out there and make it PRACTICAL. π‘
Bc letβs be realβwhen youβre a new to cancer rehab, it can feel like drinking from a firehose π€―π₯
YOU know how you can help patients with cancer...
But your community likely doesn't know this or even that you're out there.
Stop banging your head against the wall π
And learn from the EXPERT who is building cancer rehab programs across the country!
Dr. Abby Hegerfeld will teach you
β how to develop the RIGHT oncology rehab program for your community
β strategies to develop relationships with key oncology team members
So you can build the oncology rehab your community NEEDS!
You probably know that trauma informed care is really important to apply in health care.
But do you know HOW to apply it in YOUR practice with YOUR patients?
If the answer is no, then no sweat friend because...
ποΈββοΈ Strength training is crucial for slowing down functional decline, but not everyone is ready to lift heavy weights right away.
Thatβs where Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training comes in! π‘
In this episode of TheOncoPT Podcast, Dr. Kelly Martin shares how BFR can help patients who aren't ready for high-intensity exercises, yet still need to build πͺ
π‘ What if you could help your oncology patients build strength with LESS intensity but still get the same gains? π€―
There's a powerful tool out there that acts as a bridge to higher intensity training, even if your patients arenβt quite ready for it yet β¬οΈ
Dr. Kelly Martin shares her insights on this game-changing approach to cancer rehab in our latest episode!

CONTROVERSIAL TAKE: I teach my patients w/lymphedema how to get their π done at the salon
I have learned not to get in between a Texas woman & her mani/pedi
I will not win that fight π₯
1/π§΅
So I'd rather prepare my pts to know HOW to get their nails done
rather than ignore it or tell them not to do it
bc they're likely going to do it anyway
What "red button" topic do you address with your pts? (aka what fights have you learned to lose π)
Tell me in the comments!
***for context: I was taught early in my #OncoPT career that pts w/#lymphedema should NEVER get their nails done in order to reduce their risk of cellulitis.
My patients then taught me they were going to get their nails done anyway πππ***
