Cancer rehabilitation is a growing area in medicine due to the increase in cancer survivorship. More and more individuals are beating cancer because of advances in medical technology, treatment, and early detection. The number of cancer survivors will continue to increase in the U.S. and there will need to be more recovery strategies. When someone is undergoing cancer treatment, physical therapy may not be the first healthcare field that comes to mind. Early cancer treatment is met with oncologists, radiologists, nurses, and surgeons. Rightly so, as these healthcare practitioners are essential to the treatment and management of cancer. However, don’t forget that the role of physical therapy in cancer recovery is extremely important. Physical therapist practice for persons affected by cancer and chronic illness helps by maximizing movement and wellness across the lifespan.
For this and many other reasons, CardioFlex Physical Therapists in Davie are supporting Relay For Life, the signature fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, in which volunteers give their time and effort because they believe it’s time to take action against cancer. Join us at this upcoming event to bring communities together to remember loved ones lost, honor survivors of all cancers, and raise money to help the American Cancer Society make a global impact on cancer. Physical therapy is key in cancer rehabilitation.
This event will take place on September 21st. at Quiet Waters Park in Deerfield Beach. We kick off the event by honoring everyone who’s been affected by cancer and everyone who has contributed to the success of this year’s Relay season. Later a Luminaria Ceremony, representing everyone touched by cancer with a Luminaria: each light represents a life—a life taken by cancer, a survivor of cancer, or support for a person still fighting the disease. It’s a powerful demonstration that gives people the opportunity to grieve but also offers comfort and hope. Lastly, the closing ceremony, the time to commit to take action and help lead the fight for a world free from cancer. It’s a time to celebrate what we’ve accomplished together and a time to unify for the work that needs to be done moving forward.
September 21st. 6 pm – 12 am
Quiet Waters Park 401 S Powerline Rd Deerfield Beach, FL
