It’s no secret that cancer is EXPENSIVE, which can make accessing care extremely challenging for some patients.  While various solutions are available today, one of my favorite organizations meeting these needs & expanding access to quality care is Moving Beyond Cancer Collective.

Mari Galle, an oncology acupuncturist based in Austin, Texas, shared her journey and the inspiring work she does on TheOncoPT Podcast. Alongside her team, Mari has been instrumental in establishing the Moving Beyond Cancer Collaborative, a nonprofit organization aimed at providing accessible and holistic care to individuals affected by cancer.

As a new OncoPT, it’s tempting to want to rush through the early days so you can hurry up & “become the expert.”  However, these early days are some of the most important days of your entire career!

Let me explain:

You can’t “hack” experience.  Gaining experience is a slow, purposeful process that requires intentional effort every day.

For the ambitious OncoPT like you & me, this feels like slamming on the brakes when you’re driving 80 down the interstate.  But there’s actually significant benefits to slowly, intentionally pursuing your professional ambitions…

Listen now to start seeing these benefits in your own life today!

If you ask any rehab professional what scares them the most about oncology patients, their answer 99.9% of the time will be bone metastases.  

And this fear is keeping rehab professionals from actually helping their patients with cancer (even those without bone mets).

The fact is patients with bone metastases benefit from rehab, from exercise, & from physical activity.  High-quality evidence overwhelmingly supports these benefits & demonstrates that there are very safe ways to administer & dose movement for patients with bone metastases.  Dr. Susan Maltser is on the podcast today to discuss HOW.

I love to nerd out about the research going on behind the scenes to invent & improve cancer treatments.  

But there’s something I love even more than that: seeing people step into their power, pursuing their highest purpose & potential.

Dr. Lopamudra Das Roy was a renowned geneticist in the oncology field for many years, before she decided to walk away from it all…to start a nonprofit helping the most vulnerable oncology patients.  Thus, Breast Cancer Hub was born.

Since 2017, Dr. Das Roy has worked to establish bridges between developed & developing countries to improve access to cancer screening, prevention, & treatment information.  Today, she’s on TheOncoPT Podcast to share insight into how we can do this within our own communities & how listening to your heart can lead you to your greatest adventure yet.
