Oncology & Cancer Rehab – Dr Faizan Hassan

Oncology Physiotherapy & Cancer Rehab in Karachi

Specialized, Compassionate Care to Rebuild Your Strength, Manage Pain, and Restore Your Quality of Life.

Cancer treatments save your life, but they take an immense physical toll on your body. Severe fatigue, post-surgical stiffness, and nerve pain can make your recovery feel overwhelming. At Dr. Faizan Hassan Clinic, we provide specialized Oncology Physiotherapy designed to support you through every phase of your cancer journey. We help you safely manage side effects, clear painful swelling (Lymphedema), and regain the independence and energy you deserve.

Are Cancer Treatments Leaving You Exhausted and in Pain?

Are you suffering from debilitating “Chemo Fatigue” that keeps you in bed all day?
Have you developed painful, heavy swelling in your arm or leg (Lymphedema) after lymph node removal?
Are you experiencing numbness, tingling, or burning in your hands and feet (Neuropathy)?
Is severe chest or shoulder stiffness preventing you from lifting your arm after a Mastectomy?

Rest alone will not restore your body. Prolonged bed rest during cancer treatments actually worsens muscle wasting and fatigue. You need a highly customized, medically supervised physical rehabilitation program that respects your body’s fragile state while slowly rebuilding your stamina and mobility.

Safe, Clinical Expertise During Your Most Vulnerable Time

Treating a cancer patient requires a profound understanding of oncology contraindications (knowing exactly what not to do). You cannot use standard, aggressive physiotherapy on a body undergoing chemotherapy or radiation.

Dr. Faizan Hassan brings over 15 years of complex clinical experience to oncology rehabilitation. He deeply understands the medical precautions required for patients with fragile bones (bone metastases), active chemo ports, and compromised immune systems.

Using gentle, evidence-based techniques like Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and energy conservation strategies, Dr. Faizan provides a completely safe, hygienic, and deeply empathetic environment for your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cancer Rehab

Is it safe to do physiotherapy while actively receiving Chemotherapy?

Yes, but it must be highly modified. Research shows that gentle, supervised exercise during chemotherapy actually reduces nausea, drastically improves energy levels, and helps flush the chemo drugs effectively through the body.

What is Lymphedema and can it be cured?

Lymphedema is severe swelling that happens when lymph nodes are removed or damaged by radiation (common in breast cancer). While there is no permanent "cure," specialized physiotherapy (Lymphatic Drainage and compression) is the only effective way to reduce the swelling, relieve the heavy pain, and manage the condition long-term.

Can you help with the numbness in my hands and feet from chemo?

Yes. Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) causes numbness and tingling. We use specialized tactile stimulation, balance training, and targeted circulation exercises to reduce the discomfort and prevent you from losing your balance and falling.

My mother had a mastectomy and can't lift her arm. Can you help?

Absolutely. It is extremely common for the chest muscles and shoulder joint to freeze up after a mastectomy and radiation. We use gentle tissue release techniques to safely stretch those areas and give her full arm movement back.

Reclaim Your Body and Your Quality of Life.

You are fighting a brave battle, and you shouldn’t have to fight the pain and fatigue alone. Let our expert oncology rehabilitation team help you rebuild your strength, safely and compassionately.
