Physiotherapy and home care for people with cancer
During and after cancer treatment, tiredness, loss of strength or recent surgery can make leaving the house very difficult. I come to your home to care for you and support your family.
How I can help
With adapted exercise to maintain or regain strength and mobility, guidance for managing tiredness, recovery after surgery and safe movement at home. As a nurse, I can also take care of dressings and any prescribed injectable medication, working with your medical team.
Person-centred care
I'm a research fellow at the AECC Chair of the University of Lleida “Communicating is humanising: patient-centred care in oncology” (+ComOn), whose project received the chair's award in 2024-25. It's also the subject of my PhD at the University of Lleida and of my first scientific article, published in 2026, on what helps and what hinders communication in oncology. I've also trained in breaking bad news. Listening, explaining and deciding together with the patient and their family is how I approach every visit.
At your own pace
Each session adapts to how you feel that day. Some days are for working and others for something gentler, and both count. I always follow your oncologist's instructions.
What the visits are like
- First visit with assessment and plan
- Sessions at your home, with all the equipment
- Exercises to do between sessions
- Guidance for the family
- Invoice for your insurer
Frequently asked questions
Can I have physio while I'm having treatment?
In many cases yes, and adapted exercise can help with tiredness. Before we start, we review your situation and your medical team's instructions.
Do you also support the family?
Yes. I show carers how to help with moving and how to organise daily life at home, and I answer their questions.
