Exercise Program at Nationwide Children's Helps Cancer Survivors Regain Strength and Confidence

There are many health effects that a patient may need to overcome after winning a battle against cancer. Cancer treatments can affect the patient's balance, agility, coordination, prompt weight gain and other physical ailments. So, Nationwide Children's Hospital has created a program called, "Play Strong" that allows pediatric and adolescent cancer survivors to improve their motor skills and transition into physical activity safely. Watch as Travis Gallagher, ATC, a certified athletic trainer in Sports Medicine, explains why this additional treatment plan is important for young cancer survivors to help return to a normal life.
