Exercise after cancer shouldn't feel confusing.
You've probably been told that exercise is important during and after cancer treatment.
But many people are left asking...
Is it safe?
Where do I start?
Am I doing too much?
Will I ever feel like myself again?
These questions are completely normal.
The Cancer Movement was created because no one should have to figure it out alone.

Built on Science. Driven by People.
The Cancer Movement was founded by cancer survivors and cancer exercise specialists Sarah Newman and Steph Lightfoot, alongside physiotherapist, educator and academic Dr Debbie Thackray.
Together, we combine lived experience with expertise spanning cancer rehabilitation, physiotherapy, healthcare, higher education, research and implementation. By bringing together clinical expertise, evidence and real-world experience, we're helping turn research into practical guidance that people can understand, trust and use.
Because everyone affected by cancer deserves the confidence to move.
