You are not alone in your recovery from breast cancer surgery and treatment.

So often, physicians and surgeons are focused on removing and treating your cancer, that there remains a lack of focused care after your surgery or treatment. Rehabilitation after surgery can address tissue repair, edema and scar tissue reduction, shoulder/neck/trunk range of motion, pain reduction, lymphedema prevention, and so much more.

There are many manual therapies and exercises that can help with quality of life after a breast cancer diagnosis and surgery. Hands-on treatments can include manual lymphatic drainage for post operative swelling and lymphedema prevention, scar tissue integration (for both surgical and radiation scar tissue), myofascial and neuromuscular work for surrounding muscles, gentle exercises to encourage range of motion, and cranial work to active the parasympathetic nervous system.

We can also help reduce and treat common complications including axillary web syndrome (cording), seromas, thoracic outlet syndrome, and early lymphedema. No matter your stage of healing - whether you are still receiving treatments or are 10 years out from surgery - we can address any concerns you have or may have developed as a result of breast surgery or cancer treatment.

This work is appropriate and recommended for mastectomies, lumpectomies, and reconstruction surgery after breast cancer. It can also be very helpful after breast implants, explants, reductions, and gender affirming surgeries. Please reach out for any questions.
