Summary
This webinar is presented by Myriam Filion, kinesiologist, doctoral student, and specialist in oncology. The objective of this presentation is to facilitate the integration of an exercise and physical activity program for people with cancer into your practice. This webinar will provide you with new perspectives and concrete tools to optimally integrate a client diagnosed with cancer into your regular coaching practice. It will also allow you to reflect on new ways to intervene with a person with cancer, regardless of the stage of the disease and the physical condition.
Specifically, in this webinar, Myriam provides tools for intervention in individual and group coaching practice. Based on the disease continuum, Myriam presents all the intervention options based on side effects, treatments and stage of the disease. She also presents what her multiple experiences in private practice, hospitals, and fitness centers have taught her about patient management and the best behaviours to adopt in order to motivate this clientele to move.
At the end of this presentation, a question period will be offered to allow participants to ask their questions or present clinical cases to Myriam Filion.
