What is Breast Cancer Rehabilitation?
Breast cancer rehabilitation is a vital part of the recovery of a person who has suffered from breast cancer and undergone various cancer treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Patients currently undergoing cancer treatment can also benefit from breast cancer rehab. In many cases, incorporating a safe exercise program into cancer patients’ routines can help them manage the intense effects of cancer treatments. Breast cancer rehab for patients in cancer treatment typically focuses on building up strength and endurance.
Our Brentwood office offers comprehensive physical and occupational therapy services in an encouraging and caring environment. Our team will work closely with you, your family, and your healthcare providers to improve your quality of life and help you navigate life during and after cancer.
What Conditions Does Breast Cancer Rehabilitation Treat?
Breast cancer rehabilitation can help treat a variety of issues caused by cancer treatments, though some of the most common reasons patients seek rehab include:
- Joint stiffness
- Muscle and joint pain
- General weakness and fatigue
- Balance issues or difficulty walking
- The need for the development of and medical supervision of an exercise program
- Lymphedema (persistent swelling in the arms, chest, or hands, that can occur after breast cancer surgery)
After you undergo breast cancer treatment, you may notice that you have significantly less energy and endurance. It might also feel more difficult or painful to move your body. Thankfully, occupational and physical therapy can help.
What To Expect at Performance Therapy Institute
When you visit our clinic, our dedicated team will develop a personalized treatment plan that is perfectly aligned with your needs. Your pain-relieving plan will be designed based on your current pain symptoms and the specific issues you bring to us.
After a thorough evaluation to detect any impairments or pain sources, you may be prescribed manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, therapeutic modalities, cardiovascular conditioning, or strength training.
Gentle therapeutic exercise is generally one of the first choices for patients in breast cancer rehabilitation. Exercising under the guidance of an attentive OT or PT is a safe way to get your body moving again after surgery, or after intense energy-depleting cancer treatments.
Therapeutic exercise can also help you regain your range of motion and strength. At Performance Therapy Institute in Brentwood, our number one priority is to support you during this transition and make sure you are equipped with all the resources you need to start regaining your strength.
