Shifting the Paradigm: From Reactive to Proactive Cancer Care

A cancer diagnosis creates a clear "before" and "after." While the initial whirlwind focuses on immediate treatment, the "after" is where the long-term healing truly begins.

We believe that education is empowerment. To truly thrive post-diagnosis, survivors need a roadmap that includes:

⭐️ Patient Rights: Knowing what you are entitled to in the healthcare system.

⭐️ Resource Awareness: Accessing the support systems often left out of the initial conversation.

⭐️ Expectation Management: Understanding the "new normal" of a post-treatment body and mind.

We have BIG hopes for this community. By choosing to be proactive rather than reactive, we can change the trajectory of recovery.

You deserve best practice care, every step of the way.

We strongly believe healing happens when someone is fully present with you.

That’s why we practice intentional, individualized, hands-on therapy.

Never rushed, never generic.

Just real care, real time, & real results. ✨

12/05/2025

When we opened our doors, our purpose was clear:
to create a place where people felt supported, understood, and cared for — a steady foundation in moments when life felt overwhelming.

Over time, we’ve walked alongside so many of you through recovery, pain, healing, and hope. And somewhere along the way, this clinic became more than just a place to get better…

It became a community.
A safe space.
A starting point for new strength.

As we step into a new chapter, with new ownership coming soon and a renewed vision for the future, we knew our name needed to grow with us.

And so, we are proud to introduce…

Foundation Health. ✨

A name that honors where we began, and reflects who we are becoming. A name that speaks to whole-person care, compassion, stability, and the belief that healing starts from the ground up.

Thank you for trusting us with your stories and allowing us to be part of your journey.

We can’t wait for you to experience all that this next chapter will bring. 💚✨

MLD vs. CDT — What’s the Difference? We get asked this ALL the time! Buckle up… it is a lengthy but VERY important conversation!! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

✨ Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

MLD is a gentle, hands-on massage technique that helps move trapped lymph fluid out of swollen areas.

✔️ Light pressure
✔️ Specific rhythm + sequence
✔️ Helps reduce swelling
✔️ Calms pain and inflammation
✔️ Can be done daily by a therapist or at home (when trained)

MLD = moving the fluid. Amazing tool when preformed correctly! 👏🏻👏🏾👏🏿

✨ Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT)

CDT is the ENTIRE treatment program. Made up of two phases. Intensive and Self Management.

➡️ Intensive Phase (Phase I)

Goal: Actively reduce swelling and improve skin condition.

Includes:
Daily or frequent MLD
Multilayer compression bandaging
Therapeutic exercises performed in compression
Skin and nail care education

Characteristics: Usually lasts 2–4 weeks (varies by severity). Focused on rapid volume reduction. Clinician-guided with close monitoring.

➡️ Self-Management Phase (Phase II / Maintenance Phase)

Goal: Maintain the reduction achieved in Phase I and prevent progression.

Includes:
Daily compression garments (daytime)
Nighttime compression (wraps, nighttime garments, or bandaging as needed)
Self-MLD techniques
Home exercise program
Ongoing skin care

Regular follow-up with therapist for garment assessment and progression (about every 6 months!!)

Characteristics: Long-term, lifelong management. Emphasizes patient independence. Focuses on stability, prevention, and lifestyle integration.

⁉️How to Explain It Simply:

MLD is a tool. 🔨
CDT is a toolbox. 🧰

Not all treatment plans are created equal and it’s VERY important to be assessed by a professional who is trained to know what you may need if you feel you or someone you know has chronic edema! 🤍

“Bring your toys to Firm Foundation.”

…. Or something like that! 😂

Our smallest employee wasn’t feeling her marketing commitment today 😅 but it was totally worth it for a great cause.

We’re collecting new, unwrapped toys through the 10th to donate to the Magical Christmas through the Salvation Army! Thank you for helping us make a difference! ❤️
