A controlled clinical trial was conducted in 42 primary breast cancer survivors recruited from community-based Primary Care Centres.   The results suggest that a multimodal physiotherapy programme incorporating  deep water running decreases cancer-related fatigue and improves general health and quality of life in breast cancer survivors. Further, the high level of adherence and lack of adverse events indicate such a programme is safe and feasible.
