The Multidisciplinary Oncology Vitality and Exercise (MOVE) Program, developed by oncologist Tarah Ballinger, MD, gives cancer patients a personalized plan for exercise and physical therapy throughout all stages of their cancer journey.
“Exercise works better than any medications to treat cancer-related fatigue,” said Ballinger, an assistant professor of clinical medicine at IU School of Medicine and the Vera Bradley Foundation Scholar in Breast Cancer Research. “It reduces the effects of cancer on both physical and mental health. It prevents the degradation of muscle that occurs during treatment, and exercise helps regulate our immune system.”
The bottom line: “Exercise is important for quality of life and survival after cancer.” Let's get started by supporting those getting a MOVE on cancer.
