Supporting recovery with a focus on wellness

Living with cancer does doesn’t just finish when your treatment does.

At 3D Health Group, we offer specialised rehabilitation services to support women and men living with and beyond breast, prostate, bowel, head and neck, and cervical cancers. Through personalised, evidence-based care, we help you regain strength, improve mobility, reduce the impact of symptoms, and rebuild the confidence to move forward with greater health and wellbeing

For many people, lingering swelling, discomfort, fatigue, reduced strength and movement restrictions can impact daily life long after treatment.

Without the right support, these symptoms can progress and become harder to manage.

Our team offers both lymphoedema management and oncology exercise rehabilitation, ensuring you have access to the right support before, during and after cancer treatment.

Our Lifestyle medicine GP, Beth will assist you with nutrition, sleep, movement and mental health support

Cancer recovery & rehabilitation

Lymphoedema & Oncology Rehabilitation

What is lymphoedema?

Lymphoedema is swelling caused by a build-up of lymphatic fluid. It most commonly develops following cancer treatment such as surgery or radiation therapy and can affect the arms, legs, trunk, or head and neck.

Common symptoms include:

Swelling or a feeling of heaviness
Tightness, discomfort or aching
Reduced mobility or stiffness
Changes in skin texture

Early intervention is key. When addressed early, lymphoedema can be effectively managed and progression can be slowed or prevented.

Lymphoedema Services

Delivered by Occupational Therapist Meg Cottle, our lymphoedema service provides evidence-based assessment, treatment and education to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Meg offers a comprehensive range of evidence-based treatments, including:

Lymphoedema assessment and staging
Compression garment prescription and fitting
Manual lymphatic drainage
Targeted exercise programmes to promote lymphatic flow
Skin care education and infection prevention
Kinesio taping
Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) pump prescription
Post-surgical rehabilitation

Our goal is to help you return to daily activities with greater confidence, comfort and independence.

We also treat common post-oncology complications, including:

Cording (Axillary Web Syndrome)
Seroma and fluid management
Post-operative swelling
Movement restriction and functional limitations

Cancer & Exercise Physiology

Research shows structured exercise during and after treatment can reduce cancer‑specific mortality by up to 44%.

Clients also experience improved fatigue management, strength, mobility, mental wellbeing and overall quality of life. It is one of the most effective things you can do to support your body during cancer treatment.

Research also shows that staying active can ease pain and treatment side effects, improve strength and wellbeing, and help people better tolerate and complete their prescribed treatment.

Even gentle, tailored exercise can make a significant difference, helping you maintain your independence and giving yourself the best possible support throughout treatment and recovery.

Exercising and different types of cancer

Exercise can be beneficial for people living with breast, colorectal, prostate and many other types of cancer. Every program is tailored to your diagnosis, treatment, symptoms and goals, providing safe and effective support throughout treatment and recovery.

Specialised, supportive care before, during and after cancer treatment.

3D Physiotherapy Health Group is proud to offer a dedicated Cancer Exercise Physiology service for people preparing for, undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment.

Our senior Exercise Physiologist, Kalcey, delivers safe, closely monitored and emotionally supportive exercise programs grounded in the latest oncology evidence.

A study in 2019 found breast cancer survivors who were the most physically active had a 40% lower risk of death from breast cancer than those who were the least physically active
Evidence from multiple studies suggests that physical activity after a colorectal cancer diagnosis is associated with a 30% lower risk of death from colorectal cancer
Evidence from multiple studies suggests that physical activity after a prostate cancer diagnosis is associated with a 33% lower risk of death from prostate cancer and a 45% lower risk of death from any cause

We offer:
Prehabilitation to build strength, resilience and functional reserve before surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

Exercise during treatment with tailored programs supporting fatigue, mobility and mental wellbeing.

Survivorship support to rebuild confidence, physical capacity and long-term health.

Oncology exercise groups suitable for all levels:
• 1:1 Exercise Physiology sessions
• Pilates for whole-body recovery

A collaborative model
Our Lifestyle Medicine GP provides additional expertise in sleep, nutrition, stress and recovery and we collaborate closely with referrers and oncology providers to ensure safe, integrated care across the cancer pathway.

Our clients value compassionate guidance, expert monitoring, and a space where they feel supported, not defined by their diagnosis.

We help them to maintain strength, reduce treatment side effects and feel more in control of their health.
