Alyssa is a lymphoedema physiotherapist with a background in physiotherapy and exercise physiology, specialising in cancer rehabilitation. With years of experience, Alyssa has developed a comprehensive approach to managing cancer-related lymphoedema and supporting recovery for patients throughout their cancer treatment.

Alyssa’s cancer rehabilitation practice spans a range of cancer types, including breast, head and neck, gynaecological, prostate, melanoma and sarcoma. Through personalised care plans, Alyssa addresses the specific needs of each patient, focusing on minimising the side effects of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Rehabilitation goals often include reducing swelling, restoring range of motion, alleviating pain, and strengthening the body through treatment.

Alyssa’s approach is highly collaborative, working closely with oncologists, surgeons, and other specialists to create integrated care plans. For patients undergoing cancer treatment, Alyssa also emphasises early intervention, providing education on managing lymphoedema risk factors and incorporating gentle exercises that can prevent or minimise lymphoedema.

Every cancer experience is unique, and Alyssa’s approach to rehabilitation centres on understanding each patient’s personal goals and challenges. Alyssa creates exercise programs that aim to develop strength, mobility and cardiovascular endurance using safe, adaptive exercise designed for lymphoedema and cancer recovery.
