When someone you love is diagnosed with cancer, you naturally want to help. But often, treatment leaves people exhausted, weak, and unsure how to safely stay active. That’s where cancer rehabilitation makes a real difference, especially during treatment.

PINC & STEEL certified Oncology Physios are experts in safely supporting people through every stage of cancer - before, during, and after treatment.

While medical specialists focus on eliminating the cancer, PINC & STEEL focuses on supporting the person living through it - helping individuals of all ages rebuild strength, function, confidence, and quality of life, so they can return to the daily activities and roles that make them feel like themselves again.

Helping recovery happen sooner

For many families, one of the biggest questions is:
"How can I help my loved one recover as quickly and as fully as possible?"

Cancer rehabilitation plays an important role in improving both the speed of recovery and the long-term outcomes for people affected by cancer.

“Since my husband's cancer diagnosis last year, he was not able to sit and walk around freely without the aid of crutches. PINC & STEEL rehab has made a huge difference in our lives — he is now able to walk unaided, joins family gatherings, goes fishing, and enjoys life again.”
