Cancer Treatment in Newtown

VectorFit provides specialised cancer treatment support in Newtown, NSW. Our compassionate and expert team is dedicated to helping you through every step of your treatment journey. Can’t visit our clinic? We offer home visits and collaborate with other health services to ensure comprehensive care.

Our cancer treatment support includes personalised exercise physiology programs designed to enhance your strength, improve your quality of life, and aid in recovery.

This service is beneficial if you experience any of the following:

• Hematological symptoms for example anemia (low red blood cell), thrombocytopenia (low platelet), or neutropenia (low white blood cell). This may mean you feel fatigued, weak, short of breath, have poor sleep and low appetite.
• Musculoskeletal symptoms for example AIS syndrome, cachexia, sarcopenia, low bone density, bone tumors, bone pain or wounds. This may mean you experience joint and muscle pain, reduction in body weight, frailty, reduction in strength and cardio fitness, areas of the body with tumors, or experience high pain or challenging wounds.
• Systemic symptoms for example, fatigue or poor sleep. This may mean you are constantly tired, or experience insomnia.
• Cardiovascular and respiratory symptoms for example dyspnea, and toxicity. This may mean you experience shortness of breath, or impaired cardio respiratory fitness.
• Psychological symptoms for example, depression, anxiety, or stress, from your cancer journey.
• Body mass increase for example, increasing large amounts of weight since cancer treatment started or since diagnosis.
• Impaired cognition for example, brain fog, lack of processing ability, reduced memory.
• Lymphedema for example swelling in regions of the body.

We start with a thorough 60 minute consultation to understand your treatment history, current health, and goals, allowing us to develop a personalised support plan.

Follow-up sessions, typically 30 to 60 minutes, are scheduled to monitor your progress, adjust your program, and provide ongoing support.

We offer flexible appointment times to accommodate your needs. Whether you need a few sessions or ongoing support, we’re here to assist you every step of the way.
