In this episode, we dive into the powerful role of movement in cancer recovery with Sarah Newton, founder of Get Me Back UK. From her own experience as both a sport enthusiast and cancer survivor, Sarah has built a mission-driven platform helping people rebuild strength, confidence, and control through tailored exercise programmes.

We explore how physical activity supports not just recovery, but mental wellbeing during and after treatment, and why personalised movement plans are key at every stage of the cancer journey. Sarah shares insights into pre-rehabilitation and how preparing the body before treatment can significantly improve outcomes, as well as how exercise can be safely adapted around chemotherapy, surgery, and beyond.

The conversation also highlights the long-term benefits of strength training for longevity and functional health, alongside the innovations that brought cancer-specific programmes online during COVID. Sarah opens up about supporting both men and women across a range of cancer types, and her vision for the future, expanding access through retreats, collaborations, and continued education.

This episode is a powerful reminder that movement is more than fitness, it’s a vital part of healing, resilience, and reclaiming life after cancer.
