Experts in Pediatric Exercise Medicine
National leadership in exercise oncology
Cincinnati Children’s built the first clinically supported exercise therapy programs for survivors of childhood, adolescent and young adult cancer. Our specialists lead efforts to expand exercise therapy as a standard part of survivorship care.
Advanced testing and rehabilitation
Each patient completes detailed cardiopulmonary exercise testing and physical fitness assessments. These tests measure heart and lung function, strength and mobility. Results guide a personalized exercise plan designed to safely improve endurance and daily activity.
Coordinated care from multiple specialties
Experts from the Cancer and Blood Diseases Institute, Heart Institute, Pulmonary Medicine and Physical Therapy work together to guide each patient. This team-based care approach helps integrate exercise therapy with their ongoing medical care.
Flexible care for local and regional families
Patients complete in-person testing at Cincinnati Children’s and then continue guided exercise sessions in person or virtually. This model helps families access care while learning how to maintain safe exercise routines at home.
