PHP Cancer Rehabilitation, Long Term Conditions
Exercise & Education Programme

Pilates Health Physiotherapy is a partner in the Bucks CanMove network and referral pathway. We help connect people living with and beyond cancer to an provide an opportunity for supervised movement and exercise in the community. We can offer support and guidance for people with many cancer types at different phases before, during and after cancer treatments. Some people use our classes as a stepping stone during or following treatments to help improve confidence, mobility and fitness before returning to other activities and sports whilst others attend our classes on a more ongoing basis as they suit their longer term needs.
