Cancer Exercise Classes and Counseling
The Cancer Exercise Counseling Program at UCSF offers professional one-on-one fitness counseling to adult cancer patients and survivors. Our goal is to help them build strength and boost overall health before and after cancer treatment by coaching them on how to incorporate exercise into their lives. This could call for increasing their current level of physical activity or adjusting the ways they exercise to their current condition.
