Oncology Rehab and Wellness Resources, LLC Brings an Innovative Healthcare Service to Northern Virginia

Oncology Rehab and Wellness Resources, LLC is the only Oncology Rehabilitation Specialty Practice Northern Virginia.  Oncology Rehab and Wellness Resources offers comprehensive physical and occupational therapy services focused solely on the specialized needs of cancer patients and cancer survivors.  While other rehab clinics and hospital-based rehab facilities treat a multitude of injuries and illnesses, Oncology Rehab and Wellness Resources was created to exclusively address the impairments that cancer patients and survivors often endure either due to the cancer itself or the treatments for the disease.  The rehabilitation programs focus on restoring the prior level of function and quality of life for cancer survivors that is negatively affect by cancer treatment intervention.  “Much of the literature being published today in peer-reviewed journals confirms that a formal, structured and supervised exercise program is beneficial to cancer survivors” says Cheryl Guarna, PT, MPT, STAR/C –founder of Oncology Rehab and Wellness. "Our vision is to incorporate all rehab disciplines as well as innovative wellness programs to address the complete well being of cancer survivors”.

Often cancer patients and survivors receive no instruction about exercise or are simply not offered the options to address their persistent symptoms within the healthcare system.  However, medical evidence in published literature has proven the positive effects of exercise on the body, even for cancer survivors.  Exercise, if properly supervised and directed by a rehabilitation professional such as a physical or occupational therapist, is safe for both cancer patients who are currently undergoing treatment and for cancer survivors who have completed their treatment. 

As stated by the founder, “we have a commitment to the community to educate, support and provide the needed services to those who fight the fight on a daily basis.  Our goal is to improve the lives of those with cancer, one survivor at a time.  We remain inspired to do what we do because we know that cancer rehabilitation is an intervention that changes lives”.
