About Next Wave
Principal Physiotherapist and Founder, Next Wave Cancer Rehab
Next Wave Cancer Rehab is led by Megan Oster, an experienced oncology physiotherapist based on the Sunshine Coast. With over a decade of physiotherapy practice across Australia and the United Kingdom, Megan supports people through every stage of the cancer experience, from diagnosis and treatment to survivorship and advanced illness.
Care is calm, private, and individualised, and always works alongside your medical team. The aim is to help you understand what is happening, what is safe, and how to move forward at your pace.
