“Empowering Patients Through the 3 E’s: Education, Empowerment, and Encouragement of exercise oncology. 

When it comes to helping patients embrace exercise and physical activity, especially those facing the unique challenges of cancer treatment, the approach matters.

Now out my 3 E’s: Education, Empowerment, and Encouragement video shared from AONN+.

Here I dive deeper into this approach, offering practical tips for navigators and healthcare professionals to support patients who may be struggling to incorporate exercise into their daily routine due to physical limitations or treatment-related side effects.

Whether you’re a patient navigator, a healthcare provider, or someone looking to better understand how to motivate and guide patients through their exercise journey, this video is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.

Watch the video to learn:
– How to educate patients on the importance of exercise during and after cancer treatment.
– Strategies to empower patients to overcome physical barriers and build confidence.
– Encouragement techniques to help patients stay motivated and consistent in their physical activity.

Let’s work together to make exercise a feasible and empowering part of every patient’s journey. Both the Guidelines from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) as well as the American Cancer Society/American College of Sports Medicine recommend all cancer survivors exercise no matter what type, stage or timepoint! We all play a role here!
