Helping Breast Cancer Patients Recover

Physical Rehabilitation is a key component often missing in the treatment of breast cancer.  Many women are surprised by the associated loss of strength and function of the shoulder and decrease in the overall fitness level that usually accompanies breast cancer.  We provide the breast cancer patient with a comprehensive rehabilitation program.  Following surgery, an individualized and structured fitness program takes the patient through complete recovery in order to resume a healthy life.

Physical Therapy for Women with Breast Cancer

Working in consultation with the patient's physician, we will provide the participant with progressive follow-up care.  The program includes not only traditional shoulder range of motion and strengthening exercises, but also education in total-body fitness, wellness and health promoting behaviors that can be incorporated into the client's life after therapy ends.

Treatment Options

• Manual stretching and soft tissue massage of the shoulder girdle complex

• Instruct in exercise immediately following surgery

• Lymphedema education, risk reduction and treatment

• Lymphatic cording

• Exercise prescription during and after chemotherapy

• Reduce scar tissue adhesions
