Chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments can have direct and indirect impacts on the feet and lower limbs. This can be through the chemical effects on your body and can impact your structural alignment (biomechanics) leading to a range of related complications. Getting support and treatment at the right time, that can work in conjunction with your existing treatment plans, can be an important part of maintaining both physical and mental wellbeing.
