Cancer Rehab
At Holistic Physical Therapy, we provide one-on-one care for patients who are currently undergoing cancer treatment or have completed cancer treatment. We use a collaborative holistic approach, working with your physicians and other health care providers, to address you as a whole person when developing our treatment plan. Oncology rehab focuses on improving wellbeing by addressing pain and fatigue, increasing range of motion, flexibility and strength to help patients achieve their goals. We also provide education about lymphedema risk reduction, exercise, and safely returning to fitness.
Pre-surgical Consultation
A pre-surgical consultation allows the physical therapist to establish range of motion, posture, and limb volume measurements for those individuals undergoing node surgery or radiation. Early physical therapy intervention also allows for the therapist to educate the client to post-operative exercise instruction.
Breast Cancer Rehabilitation
Our Physical Therapists are trained in breast cancer rehabilitation. Treatment involves complete evaluation of mobility, posture, skin, strength, and the sequela of breast cancer treatment. The after effects of cancer treatment may include loss of range of motion, shoulder pain, axillary cording, fatigue, and lymphedema.
If you have a condition that is not listed here, but you are seeking conservative measures please call to speak with one of our specialists to find out if intervention by a physical therapist may be beneficial. Contact us Monday through Friday at (207) 879-7510.
