So why is it still so rare to see it implemented?

If you ask any rehab professional what scares them the most about oncology patients, their answer 99.9% of the time will be bone metastases.
And this fear is keeping rehab professionals from actually helping their patients with cancer (even those without bone mets).
The fact is patients with bone metastases benefit from rehab, from exercise, & from physical activity. High-quality evidence overwhelmingly supports these benefits & demonstrates that there are very safe ways to administer & dose movement for patients with bone metastases. Dr. Susan Maltser joins us in this week’s replay episode to discuss HOW.

Oncology physical therapy is a SIGNIFICANT departure from what most people know & expect from physical therapy. Think about it: cancer itself is a red flag condition you likely learned about & how you should refer the patient with cancer back to their referring provider.
And that is totally antithetical to how you as an OncoPT approach your patient with cancer.
Most PTs won’t even touch a person with cancer. They might even call you crazy.
But that’s what makes you the perfect OncoPT.
You probably already knew this, but you now need a path forward to that next, bigger, better version of OncoPT you can become. Tune in to learn your exact path forward.
