Zijp 14-16, 1780 Wemmel Eight years ago, Professor Nele Adriaenssens, coordinator of Oncological Rehabilitation at the UZ Brussel and PI of the VUB Rehabilitation Research group, started a rehabilitation project for people with or recovering from cancer. The project, known as Just Move , has since grown into a successful support and aftercare programme run by UZ Brussel, offering 250 patients a year (125 under Covid regulations) a 12-week physical aftercare programme following their treatment. On Wednesday 2 February, the project enters a significant next phase: thanks to gym chain Basic-Fit, Just Move will have better and more modern equipment and can thus support more people. Adriaenssens: "We will get 13 cardio machines and nine strength machines. From Wednesday, we will have more equipment that can be used in a more multifunctional way.
