Real People, Real Stories, Real Recoveries!
My Story - Melanie Dale
In 2007 I was diagnosed with a sarcoma in my left buttock. During my recovery unfortunately I was unaware of such a thing as an exercise physiologist, until joining the Sutherland Relay for Life committee and meeting Brent Collier from Peak Health in 2013.
I took part in two Beat It programs for diabetes with Peak Health and saw Brent in his practice to improve things like balance and strength.
In July 2021 after a routine colonoscopy my whole world turned upside down. I was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer.
After a 10 hour surgery and recovery in hospital during covid, one of the first people I contacted was Brent. Luckily for me he was one step ahead of me and already had written a plan.
I had 6 months of chemotherapy and stayed positive throughout. I knew I had a strong network of people behind me including my mum and my husband who never left my side.
I couldn’t work, I couldn't do anything for myself and had zero confidence.
With 3 chemo’s to go I made my first appointment with Brent at Peak Health. For anyone that has been to his practice you need to go upstairs to his rooms. The struggle was real but I made it up there.
This is where my story really began.
Brent asked me what I wanted. I said confidence, to walk unassisted, no more fatigue and my biggest dream was to return to childcare one day.
Unfortunately, my peripheral neuropathy became worse. I was lucky enough to take part in a weekly trial at Prince of Wales Hospital. This was also organised by Peak Health. I was mostly in a wheelchair when this trial started, and used a walking stick. By the time the trial finished I was walking unassisted and the report proved that with exercise you can overcome the neuropathy.
I still remember my first exercise Brent gave me and he continued to build on it.
In 2022 I had the privilege of cutting the ribbon at the Sutherland Relay for Life whilst in a wheelchair. The following year I walked the track unassisted.
So, with a lot of hard work and up’s and down’s I’m happy to say I am back working in childcare and could not be happier.
I truly believe exercise can help you fight back against cancer but it’s hard work and you need to get a referral to an exercise physiologist from your oncologist.
My Story - Michael Trompp
“At 28 years old, I was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer and thought my life was over. I assumed that all I would be doing was resting and recuperating, unaware of how crucial exercise would be to my recovery.
I soon learned that physical activity was vital for helping move the chemo and radiation through my body, making treatments more effective.
Post-surgery, I was determined to regain my strength and return to the activities I loved. With the help of Brent and Peak Health, I was able to get back on my feet faster than I imagined. Today, I'm back playing cricket, oztag, and even competing in triathlons.
Through perseverance and the right support, I’ve come to realise the power of both physical and mental recovery. It’s a journey that continues to teach me the importance of resilience.”
Ric - it's the truth!
During my own battle with cancer, I learned first hand the incredible power of exercise in both physical recovery and mental well-being. Dealing with challenges like lymphedema, nerve damage, and muscle weakness, it felt right to continue exercising for my overall health despite the recommended protocol, at the time, that exercise would be detrimental to my recovery. Though I relied on my intuition to guide me through exercise during my cancer journey, I can now see how partnering with an Exercise Physiologist amplifies the specialised support and resources needed to make exercise an even more powerful tool in the recovery process.

I'm Still Here
I’M STILL HERE BECAUSE THE BRENT COLLIER (of CanRecover) ACTIVE & SOCIAL PROGRAM WITH THE GYMEA COMMUNITY AID & INFORMATION CENTRE GUIDED MY CANCER RECOVERY EFFORTS.

Julie M
Planning for the future: I have always tried to keep myself fit and eating a healthy diet but I think I discovered the importance whilst dealing with the cancer then a fall which has changed my life, but not for the negative. With the assistance of a team of support: exercise physiologist, physiotherapist, podiatrist, gym trainer, pain psychologist (for chronic pain syndrome) and a dietitian, I feel that dealing with the future is more positive. Keeping active and fit is critical as we age (I am 63). Keeping my body active calms my brain and assists the nerve pain. There is always some positive activity that can help...and usually it is fun!!
Thank you is not enough
Brent, there are no words that can articulate how deeply we appreciate your expertise in your craft that allowed Col the dignity and quality of life he deserved.We will be forever grateful for your dedication, passion and level of care shown to our family.
