The old approach was to prescribe bed rest after surgery. Now patients are told to get out of bed and to move. Robert Newton leads research at Edith Cowan University in Perth into the benefits of exercise in preventing and treating conditions such as cancer. He says there are important molecules released when our muscles work. These molecules suppress cancer and reduce tumour development. They also reduce the toxicity effects of chemotherapy allowing full doses to be administered. Robert Newton says exercise is a medicine bringing highly coordinated biochemical changes within the body with no side effects.
