PINC & STEEL is dedicated to helping men, women and young people with any type of cancer.
At NorthWest Physio + we have our fully qualified cancer rehab physiotherapist Sonia from June 2024 who is here to support, guide and rehabilitate people through every stage of their treatment and recovery.
There are now more people surviving a cancer diagnosis, but they can face an increased risk of extended health problems, premature mortality and harsh side effects from their treatment. PINC & STEEL physiotherapists are really passionate about helping people navigate the difficult world of cancer treatment so they can minimise the side effects of the treatments and encourage them to have the best quality of life they can. The treatments are tough but are more manageable when people know what to expect and are given good advise on all the things they can do to maximise their own recovery and help them take positive steps for their future health and wellbeing.
We also offer NEXT STEPS classes to those who have completed their main cancer treatments. The Program combines the best of pilates, yoga and cardiovascular exercises for a workout that is specifically designed to help rebuild strength, flexibility and stamina. The Program runs for one hour per week, for ten weeks, and is specifically designed to help people affected by cancer. It is suitable after any type of cancer surgery or treatment and accommodates all ages, fitness levels and mobility.

Certified PINC and STEEL Physiotherapists assess each patient individually. Each patient is assessed individually for physical impairments and affects of their treatment. The Physiotherapists then work with each patient to create a rehabilitation program to suit their stage in recovery. The sessions can include a combination of services including: Manual physiotherapy, graduated resistance training, clinical pilates, fatigue management and exercise prescription.
Pinc and Steel Physiotherapists are movement based therapists. The individualised rehabilitation programming is chronologically formatted into 4 phases. Timing of each phase is dependent upon the patients physical condition, the length of the healing process, the type of surgery involved, and the courses of adjuvant treatment.
