Boost Your Mental & Physical Health

Staying active and committing to some form of movement daily is not only great for our sense of wellbeing, reducing stress and anxiety and releasing endorphins - the happy hormone, there are also some well researched scientifically proven biological effects which play a role in overcoming cancer. Here's some science:

When you exercise, your muscles release special proteins called myokines that help communicate with your immune system. One of these proteins is called IL-6. During exercise, IL-6 helps reduce inflammation, which is important because ongoing inflammation is linked to the development and survival of cancer. IL-6 triggered by exercise also encourages the body to produce other substances that calm inflammation. However, IL-6 can sometimes behave differently depending on where and how it’s made. But when it comes from your muscles during exercise, it helps keep inflammation under control and supports your overall health.

Movement is how I remind my body it’s alive, capable and healing. One step, one stretch, one breath at a time.

Myokines help regulate the immune system, modulating immune cell activity. During exercise, myokines help enhance the immune system's ability to respond to infections, while simultaneously preventing excessive inflammation. The release of myokines like IL-6 and IL-15; triggered by exercise, has been linked to improved immune surveillance, which is highly beneficial in the fight against cancer.

My consistent forms of movement for me have been yoga and walking. Things that can easily be adapted to wherever you are physically at, at the time.

The Clinical Impact of Movement on Cancer

Research consistently shows that regular physical activity can enhance treatment tolerance, reduce cancer-related fatigue, and improve overall quality of life for patients. Exercise supports immune function, regulates inflammation, and preserves muscle mass and bone density—all critical during and after treatment. Movement also contributes to better cardiovascular health, improved insulin sensitivity, and reduced recurrence risk in certain cancers. Incorporating structured movement into a care plan is now recognized as a vital, evidence-based component of comprehensive cancer support.
