Monika Dylewski, Registered Kinesiologist, Early Movement Academy, “The Benefits of Exercise [for the Cancer Population]”.
As an expert with over 20 years of experience in oncology rehab and chronic disease management, Monika uses her knowledge of health and fitness, musculoskeletal assessment procedures and targeted exercise prescription to counsel people on how to improve their health and well-being while enriching their quality of life.
As a Cancer Exercise Program facilitator and health educator with Wellspring Cancer Support Centre in Oakville and Brampton for over 7 years she’s been overseeing the progress of hundreds of members that participated in the 20-week exercise program. Several of our members took advantage of this great program before COVID and they speak very highly of it.
When the pandemic forced the Wellspring centres to close to the public, Monika helped develop a 12-week Online Group Exercise Program, which was successfully launched in the Summer of 2020 and became one of the most popular programs attended online by Wellspring members.
Once Wellspring is back in full operation, we hope to have Neil McCafferey, Manager Operations & Information at Wellspring Chinguacousy come in and give an overview of all their free programs.
In the meantime, Monika will discuss the role of kinesiologists in bringing the benefits of exercise to all, and especially to those suffering from cancer.
