Hello there, my name is Joe Woollcott. I'm the Head of Health Policy, Education & Awareness at the charity. I am sharing the below here in case there's any interest among our online community. 

I met Kelly who is behind Ori Rehab at the end of 2024 and said I would see if there were people in our network who might be interest in helping develop the service she's building. Hopefully all the details are clear but if you have any questions just let me know. I'd be glad to help.

New: Try Ori Rehab – guided exercise after prostate cancer

After prostate cancer treatment, many people want to become more active again but feel unsure about what is safe or where to start.

Ori Rehab is a new app created to support people recovering from prostate cancer with gentle, guided exercise that can be done at home, at your own pace.

What is Ori Rehab?

Ori Rehab was created by Kelly Dodds, a cancer rehabilitation specialist, to address the gap in rehabilitation support after cancer treatment. Ori provides structured, easy-to-follow exercise sessions designed to help you move safely, rebuild strength, reduce treatment side effects, and gradually regain confidence in your body.

The programme is suitable for people at different stages of recovery and can be adapted depending on how you are feeling day to day.

What does Ori offer?

  • Guided exercise sessions designed specifically for recovery after cancer
  • Clear video demonstrations with simple instructions
  • Low-impact movements to support strength, mobility and energy levels
  • Flexible routines you can do at home, in your own time
  • Reassuring guidance focused on safety and confidence, not intensity

Why join the early version?

Ori Rehab is currently inviting people affected by prostate cancer to join its early access version of the app.

By signing up now, you can:

  • Get early access to the prostate cancer exercise pathway
  • Help shape the future of the app by sharing your feedback
  • Be part of a small group helping improve recovery support for others
  • Receive lifetime access as a founding contributing member

Your experience will directly help improve Ori Rehab for future users.

Hi I am on this forum on behalf of my husband who's currently been on Hormone treatment for 5 months. He's fairly fit and active and walks regularly several miles about 4 or 5 days a week. Out and about most days chopping wood for the woodburner of gardening on our allotment. 

He's doing very well at the moment with little sign of fatigue and occasional brief sweats. Praying this continues 

He looked into a personal trainer but decided it just wasn't for him. He is into you tube and has mentioned fitness videos. He has got some resistance bands he hasn't tried yet. 

Is this just for post treatment? Can he sign up if I just send him the web address?

The idea sounds good, except poorly specified. I would expect (partly from experience) that very different rehab regimes will be needed for those recovering from surgery, radiotherapy, and focal therapy. Chemotherapy probably has problems all of its own.

Not to mention dealing with the issues from the short or long term androgen deprivation therapy that usually accompanies radiotherapy.
