Careful guidance and encouragement

"Careful guidance and encouragement"

About: Oncology / Physical Activity Classes

(as the patient),

During my stay in 10 North Belfast City Hospital I was introduced to Joe - a Physical Activity Coach - funded by Friends of the Cancer Centre. Joe guided me through a series of simple strengthening & flexibility exercises following my courses of chemo. It not only strengthened unused muscles & improved flexibility,  but also improved my emotional & mental well being under careful guidance & encouragement. 

An exercise instruction leaflet explaining the exercises was also provided to practice alone. 

There are also online classes taken by Joe to continue with following discharge home. 

A very good service.
