Researchers say people with cancer who exercised regularly reported lower levels of pain. The findings are similar to research showing an association between exercise and pain mitigation among non cancer patients. Experts say that exercise should be used alongside medication to treat pain.

These survivors are the newest cohort of Cross-Training and Physical Activity: A Better Life Experience (CAPABLE), a clinical trial that explores the benefits between CrossFit and cancer recovery.

The Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute is looking for cancer survivors to participate in 12 weeks of physical activity classes for free. These classes are offered as part of a clinical trial exploring how exercise improves quality of life for cancer survivors.

The Karmanos Cancer Institute at McLaren Northern Michigan has partnered with CrossFit Petoskey to offer free fitness classes to cancer survivors as part of its clinical study to determine the positive impact exercise has on cancer survivors.
