Breast Cancer Recovery & Rehabilitation at Be On The Move addresses the unique challenges faced by individuals undergoing or recovering from breast cancer treatment. Surgical interventions, radiation, and chemotherapy can lead to pain, scar tissue formation, limited range of motion, and lymphedema. Our specialized program focuses on targeted exercises, gentle stretching, and manual therapies to restore mobility, reduce swelling, and promote tissue healing. In addition to physical interventions, we emphasize emotional support and education. We collaborate closely with your healthcare team to ensure our strategies align with your overall cancer care plan. Our staff is trained to handle the nuanced needs of breast cancer survivors—minimizing discomfort, optimizing recovery timelines, and helping you regain a sense of normalcy in your daily routines.
We start with a gentle evaluation to determine your range of motion, potential lymphedema risk, and current fitness level. Based on these findings, your therapist will design a tailored plan including specialized exercises and manual therapy to address scar tissue, swelling, and stiffness.
Individuals at any stage of breast cancer treatment or recovery, including those experiencing lymphedema or post-surgical functional limitations.
