About Me
Welcome to CanRehabPT — a dedicated space for cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers seeking knowledge, support, and a better quality of life.
I’m Dr Tausiya Saleem Ansari, an oncophysiotherapist, a devoted mother, and someone deeply passionate about helping individuals regain strength and independence after a cancer diagnosis. My journey in this field began during my time at Seth G.S. Medical College and continued through my postgraduation at Lokmanya Tilak Medical College in Mumbai. It was there that I first witnessed the incredible resilience of cancer patients and their families.
But it was my specialisation in cancer physiotherapy and lymphoedema management at Tata Memorial Hospital that truly opened my eyes to the daily emotional and physical battles they face. Years of working closely with patients have reinforced one powerful truth—a cancer diagnosis isn’t an end, but rather the beginning of a stronger, braver, and more empowered you.
Why CanRehabPT?
Cancer affects much more than just the body—it touches every part of life. I dedicate this blog to showing cancer patients and their caregivers that recovery is not only achievable but can lead to a meaningful and hopeful life.
At CanRehabPT, I aim to bridge the gap between medical treatment and holistic recovery through evidence-based physiotherapy, practical advice, and emotional support.
My goal is simple: to add quality to the years of cancer patients and their families, helping them navigate this journey with confidence, resilience, and the right tools for a better tomorrow.
What You’ll Find Here
At CanRehabPT, you’ll discover:
- Expert insights on cancer rehabilitation and managing treatment side effects.
- Practical advice to improve physical and emotional well-being.
- Encouragement and hope for patients and caregivers navigating this journey.
- Resources to help you live a happier, independent life—even with or after cancer.
It’s not just about how long you live; it’s about how well you live. This philosophy guided me when I wrote my first book, Stronger Every Day: A Cancer Survivor’s Path to Physical and Emotional Recovery, and it continues to fuel my ongoing projects.
