Ready to Get Moving? Here’s a Helping Hand.

Empowering You Through Movement: Action Cancer’s Prescriptive Exercise Service

Discover the power of exercise in your cancer journey. Research and lived experience shows that staying active before, during, and after a cancer diagnosis can bring countless benefits—helping you feel stronger, more energized, and better equipped to face each day.

We understand that starting or returning to exercise after a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming. You may worry about your fitness, abilities, or confidence, especially if treatments or surgery have changed how your body feels. That’s where we come in.

Action Cancer’s prescriptive exercise service is here to guide and support you every step of the way. This personalised program is tailored to your unique needs, whether you’re undergoing treatment, managing side effects, navigating palliative care or getting back to living life after cancer.

Led by highly trained and qualified exercise specialists, this service is perfect for anyone who feels they need a little extra support to get active. Whether you’re facing physical limitations, treatment-related side effects, or simply don’t know where to start, we’ll help you build the confidence and strength to move forward.

Here's is how it works:

  • Personalised Support: You’ll begin with a one-on-one health and fitness assessment. Together, we’ll explore your current fitness level, medical needs, and personal goals for physical activity and overall wellbeing.
  • Tailored Exercise Plan: Based on your assessment, we’ll create a safe, effective, and customised exercise plan that fits your unique abilities and needs.
  • Group Setting: Enjoy the camaraderie and encouragement of others on a similar journey as you, and work through your individual plan in a supportive group environment.

Whether you’re looking to maintain or rebuild your strength, improve your mood, or simply feel more in control, our program is here to help you move at your own pace—safely, confidently, and with purpose.

Let us help you take that first step toward a healthier, happier you. Together, we’ll turn “I’m not sure if I can” into “I did it!”
