ShechterCare Specialized, progressive rehab after breast cancer surgery. Raise Your Arms High-Live Without Limits

ShechterCare is a therapist owned practice specializing in lymphedema therapy and therapy after breast cancer surgery. Therapies consist of:

The lymphedema treatment options are:

• Manual Lymphatic Drainage: This non-invasive specialized massage stimulates the lymphatic system to allow for improved lymph circulation and drains the lymph fluid from the arm/leg.
• Vasopneumatic Pump: This special machine maximizes the reduction of limb size by stimulating the veins to work better and helps soften firm areas of the limb in preparation for manual lymphatic drainage. Compression Bandaging: Multiple layers of short-stretch bandages are applied to the arm to reduce its size.
• Individualized Comprehensive Fitness Program: Flexibility, strengthening and aerobic exercises to enhance lymph flow.
• Compression Garments: Help maintain the reduced size of the limb after a full course of treatment.
• Patient Education: Includes skin care, lifestyle modifications and an individualized home management program. Post mastectomy/lumpectomy therapy:

Studies have shown it is extremely beneficial to exercise post breast cancer surgery to reduce the risk of developing lymphedema and to regain flexibility and strength that may have been lost during and after surgery (Lacomba, 2010). Our therapists work closely with clients to develop programs to meet their specific needs and to create a progressive exercise program to help achieve their goals. An individualized exercise program that focuses on:

- Postural awareness
- Flexibility
- Strength
- Endurance Training
- Range of Motion
- Pain reduction
- Myofascial release
- Scar mobilization
- Functional re-education

We’re diving into the body side of a breast cancer diagnosis this month.⁠
⁠
When people think of the physicality of a breast cancer diagnosis, of course breast surgery comes to mind. ⁠
⁠
But from behind the cancer curtain, we know there are other body-related issues that a breast cancer diagnosis brings to process. From breast changes, to hair, to body image issues, to the physical symptoms of early menopause and treatment.⁠
⁠
Join us on Wednesday, March 25th at our free Pop-Up Writing Workshop to use writing to start to feel at home in your body again (or maybe for the first time ever!) and write alongside others navigating similar challenges.⁠
⁠
We will use open-ended prompts to help you find the areas of your body-by-breast-cancer story you need to process and heal.⁠
⁠
🔥 Theme: Body Stories⁠
📅 Wednesday, March 25th⁠
⏰ 12:30pm PST / 3:30pm EST⁠
✨ No writing experience needed⁠
