At Monarch Wellness, we are always striving to provide the highest quality care to our community. We’re thrilled to celebrate an incredible achievement by our Exercise Physiologist, Rachel, who has recently completed the ACSM-ACS Cancer Exercise Specialist Course, delivered by CanRehab. This advanced certification represents a significant step forward in our mission to support individuals living with or beyond a cancer diagnosis.
Why This Certification Matters
Cancer impacts millions of lives each year, with approximately 18 million cancer survivors currently in the United States—a number projected to rise to 20.3 million by 2026, according to the National Cancer Institute. Cancer treatments often bring about physical and psychological challenges, from fatigue and muscle loss to anxiety and depression. Evidence gathered over the past two decades highlights the transformative benefits of exercise, including:
Reducing side effects of cancer treatment
Boosting energy levels and psychological well-being
Improving physical strength and mobility
Lowering the risk of cancer recurrence
Rachel’s certification through the American College of Sports Medicine® (ACSM) and CanRehab® ensures that she is uniquely equipped to design safe, effective, and personalized exercise programs for individuals at any stage of their cancer journey.
