There is increasing interest in promoting physical activity to people living with and beyond cancer. This builds on evidence which shows that physical activity can help improve physical function, and help maintain independence and wellbeing.

Physical Activity & Cancer Staff Guides

These treatment and tumour specific ‘staff guide’ resources have been created for professionals to use when providing advice and information to patients around physical activity. 

These guides can be individually downloaded.

If you require more help, information or patient specific advice please contact your local Physiotherapy department.

Metastatic Bone Disease

In general, there is a lack of clear information on how much and what types of activity are safe to recommend for those with metastatic bone disease (MBD). Macmillan’s guidance ‘Physical activity for people with metastatic bone disease‘ aims to address that gap. It is intended for use by all healthcare professionals who come into contact with people living with cancer, including nurses, dietitians, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and doctors.
