What Is Breast Cancer Rehabilitation?

Breast cancer rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical therapy designed to help individuals recover from the physical and emotional effects of breast cancer surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.

Our licensed physical therapists provide individualized, hands-on care to help you:

• Improve shoulder and arm mobility

• Reduce pain, swelling, and tightness after treatment

• Manage and prevent post-surgical edema

• Release scar tissue and restore flexibility

• Rebuild strength, posture, and endurance

• Regain balance and confidence in daily activities

Each program is customized to your unique needs — whether you’ve had a lumpectomy, mastectomy, breast reconstruction, or are years into survivorship.

How Physical Therapy Helps After Breast Cancer

Breast cancer treatments can take a toll on your body — but you don’t have to face those challenges alone. Our expert therapists help you manage:

• Post-surgical pain and tightness

• Limited shoulder and arm movement

• Fatigue and weakness from radiation or chemotherapy

• Scar tissue and adhesions that limit flexibility

• Postural changes that affect comfort and balance

• Swelling or fluid retention through gentle manual therapy and education

We coordinate closely with your oncology and surgical care teams to ensure your therapy plan is safe, effective, and supportive of your overall treatment.

When to Start Breast Cancer Therapy

It’s never too early or too late to begin physical therapy.

• Before surgery (Prehabilitation): Prepare your body, learn exercises, and understand what to expect post-surgery.

• After surgery or during treatment: Manage pain, swelling, and fatigue while promoting better healing.

• During survivorship: Continue building strength, flexibility, and confidence to prevent long-term issues.

If you’re experiencing tightness, pain, or limited motion — or simply want to feel stronger — our team is ready to help.
