Radiation therapy can save lives—but it can also leave lasting effects on the body.
One of those effects is radiation fibrosis, where tissue becomes tight, thick, and less flexible over time due to inflammation and scar tissue buildup.
Understanding the process helps us better support healing and mobility. The body goes through three phases:
• Inflammatory phase – initial tissue damage and inflammation
• Proliferative phase – fibroblasts create excess connective tissue
• Remodeling phase – long-term fibrosis and tissue stiffness
At SB Wellness & Body Contouring, we believe education is part of healing. Treatments like lymphatic work, fascia release, and therapeutic massage can help support circulation, mobility, and comfort in affected areas.
Your body deserves care, patience, and restoration. ✨
