Centre de soin de support (cancer rehabilitation)

Improve your overall health.

More and more people are overcoming cancer or living with it for many years. However, the disease and its treatments can cause physical, psychological and social problems. That is why the oncology centre at the Clinique Générale Beaulieu has set up an outpatient oncology rehabilitation programme.

This programme is personalised and lasts for 12 weeks. It can be started at any point during your journey, from diagnosis to post-treatment, to support you every step of the way.

Why this programme?


Oncological rehabilitation is a complementary approach to traditional medical treatments. It will help you mitigate the potential side effects of treatments and overcome any disabilities or limitations caused by the disease.

Numerous studies have demonstrated an improvement in quality of life and independence among patients who follow this type of programme.

You become an active participant in your own health and recovery journey, regaining confidence in yourself and your body.

Who is affected?

All cancer patients, at all stages of the disease:

  • During treatment, to prevent frailty and anticipate its potential consequences.
  • During remission, to optimise recovery and return to daily life and work.
  • During palliative care, to improve quality of life by increasing independence in daily activities.

Your personalised programme tailored to your needs includes:

An initial consultation

As well as an interim assessment with a specialist nurse to organise and, if necessary, adapt the programme to your needs.

6 individual nutrition consultations

To answer your questions and help you adapt your diet to your situation.

12 personalised physiotherapy sessions

To help you regain mobility, strength and balance, with the option of group sessions.

Psychological support

If necessary or desired.

Administrative support

With the social worker from the Geneva Cancer League to answer your questions and direct you to available resources.

Access to integrative medicine care

Such as acupuncture, lymphatic drainage, osteopathy, yoga, reflexology, Pilates or tailored beauty treatments to help you reconnect with your body.

Coverage

The costs of the oncological rehabilitation programme (nursing consultations, nutrition consultations, physiotherapy sessions, psychotherapy sessions) are covered by your basic insurance.

Any integrative care may be covered by supplementary insurance. If this is not the case, the Genolier Foundation can provide financial support to those who are unable to pay for some of the care.

Q&A

I don't have supplementary insurance. Can I still participate in this programme?

Of course. The oncology rehabilitation programme is outpatient-based and all services are covered by your basic insurance. However, integrative medicine treatments may be at your expense, covered by supplementary insurance, or you can apply for support from the Genolier Foundation.

I am currently undergoing chemotherapy. Can I still exercise or participate in this programme?

Of course. Unless otherwise advised by your doctors, regular physical activity will help reduce any side effects caused by your treatment and improve your quality of life and independence, thereby boosting your self-confidence.

I have cancer. Can I eat sugar?

This is a very common question. It is important to maintain a balanced diet, avoiding processed foods and sugary drinks. Nutrition consultations with healthcare professionals will help you tailor your diet to your current situation.
