Why Should You Get Involved?
Cancer rehabilitation and exercise significantly improve recovery and long-term health outcomes. Exercise post-cancer diagnosis reduces cancer-related mortality by 44% and recurrence risk by up to 35%. Rehabilitation also reduces disability and enhances quality of life.Many people affected by cancer miss out however on the rehabilitation support they need for several key reasons:
- Lack of funding and medical necessity perception: In New Zealand, while we have ACC that funds rehabilitation for accidents, this funding often does not extend to recovery from illnesses like cancer.
- Unreported and untreated side effects: Patients may not always report the various side effects they experience, such as fatigue, pain, weakness, and reduced mobility, to their medical specialists. Consequently, these issues may go undetected and untreated, contributing to a lack of rehabilitation support.
- Focus on acute care: Healthcare systems can be heavily focused on the acute treatment phase of cancer, with less structured support available for the months and years that follow, when rehabilitation is crucial for regaining function and quality of life.
- Socio-economic factors: Access to healthcare and rehabilitation services can be influenced by socio-economic factors, potentially leading to disparities in the support received by different individuals.
Your participation will help fund essential rehabilitation services for Kiwis in need. Every step, stretch, and rep will make a difference.

Polestar Pilates is all about openness and wanting to contribute to the wider community
What attracted me to Polestar was the ability to influence other people’s lives and to give them that same sense of empowerment.
For me Polestar Pilates is all about openness and wanting to contribute to the wider community.
I would recommend Polestar because it’s very thorough training, but done in a really practical manageable way, and you meet a whole lot of fabulous people who will influence your life.
One of Polestar’s point of differences really is the fact of how we teach the exercises, not just the content
I think one of Polestar’s point of differences really is the fact of how we teach the exercises, not the content, but the detail and the cueing.
I think it’s a really nice continuum of transitioning through physiotherapy, Pilates and fitness.
