106: Exercise Oncology, Yoga, and Fascia with Dr. Stephanie Otto

Today host Katja talks with Dr. Stephanie Otto about exercise oncology, exercise, and fascia. We discuss the biological foundations of cancer and the research link between fascia and cancer.  We also talk about therapeutic interventions related to cancer exercise and fascia and explain what distinguishes healthy tissue from cancerous tissue.

Listen in to learn how important effective exercise can be for our oncology and how exercise oncology interventions relate to fascial tissues.

“We can change the environment by treating the body and by doing special exercises, for example yoga or stretching and there are many exercises that have shown…that they can have an impact on the tissue and also on the tissue of cancer cells and tumors.” – Dr. Stephanie Otto
