🩷 As part of breast cancer awareness month, we wanted to touch on some of the incredible benefits physical therapy can have for cancer patients and survivors as part of an overall treatment plan.

🩷 Both before and after treatment, whether that involves chemotherapy, surgery, or both, physical therapy exercises can reduce depression, anxiety, lymphedema, and cancer-related fatigue.

🩷 We will guide you in targeted exercises to reduce post-surgical lymphedema, which is swelling caused by a buildup of lymph, the clear fluid that helps the body filter waste. Lymphedema can be uncomfortable and even painful, and over time, may result in infections. Physical therapy can help reduce swelling by moving the fluid back into the lymph system.

🩷 If you have been diagnosed, we encourage you to schedule an initial consultation with us to discuss your treatment plan, your concerns, your pain, your fears and your goals, so that we can help you on this journey.

Last week we talked about the benefits of real-time ultrasound for diastasis recti, but that’s just one of the post-partum conditions we treat. For many women, just engaging or activating their core muscles after childbirth can be a serious challenge.
