The Recovery Room - meeting the physical and functional needs of cancer patients and survivors.
Welcome! The Recovery Room is a question and answer educational platform created by cancer physical therapy specialist Leslie J. Waltke, PT, DPT, specifically for cancer patients and survivors.
Cancer treatments are lifesaving and continuously evolving. These cancer treatments are infamous though for leaving in their wake, huge burdens on physical health and wellbeing. At The Recovery Room, we believe that just because that’s the way it is doesn’t mean that’s the way it has to be.
There is an immense need for accurate information regarding the physical and functional needs of people during and after treatment for cancer. Dr. Leslie Waltke and The Recovery Roomstrive to address and meet this need.
Dr. Waltke has lectured throughout the world and has worked with thousands of cancer patients and survivors for more than twenty years. She is acutely aware that in cancer care, better knowledge leads to better health and a better life. All cancer patients and survivors deserve that. The Recovery Room is here to help!
We invite you to join us in meeting the need for all who are or have experienced cancer. Please share The Recoery Room’svideos with other survivors, cancer groups, your cancer care team, cancer nurse navigator, social media groups, co-workers, family and friends. Please click the Follow button on our page and click the Subscribe button our YouTube Channel, both are under the name The Recovery Room.
Most importantly, please comment and ask questions. Let us know what you like. Let us know what you want to know more about so we can address your questions in future videos!
