Cancer Rehabilitation
Reclaim Your Physical Function and Mobility
We understand that the journey towards recovery is unique for each individual. Cancer rehabilitation is helpful before, during, and after treatment to help restore and maintain function, range of motion, and endurance. By combining specialized techniques with compassionate care, we strive to empower our patients to regain control of their bodies and lives, fostering a renewed sense of hope and vitality.
Evaluation
Evaluation will include understanding your current and prior functional status, upcoming treatments you may have, and how to navigate them while staying active. We want to prevent setbacks in mobility and do so by understanding the next steps and your present status.
Chemotherapy can be exhausting and maintaining endurance is a challenge, but can be done with proper guidance. Radiation therapy changes the skin texture and pliability, as well as the function of the lymphatics. Posturing and positioning can be helpful to combat permanent changes, along with instruction in manual lymphatic drainage.
Rehabilitation can help you navigate the following:
Breast Cancer
Head and Neck Cancer
Radiation
Uterine Cancer
Prostate Cancer
Melanoma
Scar Mobility
Plastic Surgery Reconstruction
Education & Support
We will guide you through rehabilitation programs that were successful in the past and can even get you in contact with patients who have had similar journeys to yours. Based on your evaluation, we tailor your home exercise plan, ensure optimal positioning for your comfort, and ascertain the requisite level of mobility essential for both maintenance and enhancement.
