Pusterommet UNN Tromsø is a department at the University Hospital of Northern Norway that specializes in exercise and activity for cancer patients. The department offers personalized exercise before, during and after cancer treatment, with the goal of reducing side effects of the treatment. This includes both physical activities and guidance from qualified professionals, such as physiotherapists and clinical nutritionists.
The collaboration between the University Hospital of Northern Norway and Aktiv mot kreft makes it possible to offer a varied range of exercise programs. These programs can be adapted for use both at the center and at home. In addition to exercise, Pusterommet focuses on assessing nutritional status and provides dietary recommendations. A referral from a doctor is required to access the services.
