PINC & STEEL is more than just helping people after cancer, it is about giving hope, strength and courage.
Cancer Rehabilitation provides so many benefits to people affected by cancer.
It reduces unnecessary disability, loss of function, and helps people return to work and productive lives. However, the frailty of patients, co-morbid conditions, multiple medications, side effects of cancer treatments, and a host of other factors contribute to making this one of the most medically complex populations that physiotherapists and occupational therapists treat.
PINC & STEEL International provides a comprehensive post-graduate cancer rehabilitation education and mentorship program. Our PINC & STEEL Cancer Rehabilitation certification courses provide a comprehensive foundation of knowledge of the entire cancer process and best practice in cancer rehabilitation for all types of cancer.
Since 2008, PINC & STEEL International has trained hundreds of therapists to help people thrive after a cancer diagnosis, reducing the burden cancer has on the lives of so many.
Join a select group of physiotherapists and occupational therapists using their skills to make a huge impact on the lives of patients affected by cancer
