Breast Cancer Physical Therapy

Breast cancer physical therapy is a specialized area of women's health physical therapy that focuses on helping women recover physically after breast cancer treatment. This can include surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation, which may lead to pain, limited movement, and fatigue. Physical therapists work with patients to develop personalized exercise and rehabilitation programs that improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance quality of life. They may also provide education on self-care, lymphatic health, and body mechanics to support overall well-being during recovery. The goal is to help women regain strength, confidence, and comfort in their bodies post-treatment.
