Breast Cancer Rehabilitation

Restoring Strength, Renewing Hope

Through specialized techniques, it promotes healing, enhances comfort, and supports emotional and physical well-being on the journey to recovery.

At Palm Beach Healing Center, we understand that breast cancer treatment affects more than just physical health—it touches every aspect of life. That’s why we offer specialized Breast Cancer Rehabilitation, a compassionate and personalized therapy approach designed to support recovery, restore movement, and improve quality of life after surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.

Our rehabilitation team is trained in oncology physical therapy and works closely with each client to address the unique challenges that arise after breast cancer treatment.

What is Breast Cancer Rehabilitation?

Breast cancer rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical and manual therapy aimed at restoring function, reducing pain and swelling, and supporting emotional well-being following breast cancer treatment. Whether you’ve had a lumpectomy, mastectomy, radiation therapy, or breast reconstruction, our team provides evidence-based care to help you regain strength, confidence, and control over your recovery.

Our Approach to Post-Surgical Recovery

we tailor each rehabilitation plan based on your medical history and treatment type. The therapy may include:

  • Manual lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling or lymphedema
  • Range of motion and flexibility exercises to restore shoulder and chest mobility
  • Scar tissue management to reduce tightness and discomfort
  • Postural retraining to counteract imbalances from surgery or radiation
  • Core and upper body strengthening to improve energy and endurance
  • Breathing and relaxation techniques for stress relief and lung function

Common Conditions We Treat

Breast Cancer Rehabilitation can support individuals dealing with:

  • Shoulder stiffness and frozen shoulder
  • Axillary web syndrome (cording)
  • Lymphedema
  • Scar pain or sensitivity
  • Fatigue and reduced endurance
  • Weakness and postural changes
  • Pain in the chest, neck, or upper back

The Benefits of Breast Cancer Rehabilitation

The benefits of Breast Cancer Rehabilitation reach far beyond recovery—it helps restore mobility, ease discomfort, and rebuild strength while nurturing emotional well-being. This supportive approach includes:

  • Faster and more comfortable recovery after surgery
  • Improved mobility and strength in the affected areas
  • Reduced pain, swelling, and tissue tightness
  • Emotional support and empowerment
  • Improved body awareness, posture, and confidence
  • Prevention and management of lymphedema

When Should You Start?

It’s never too early—or too late—to begin breast cancer rehabilitation. Many clients begin gentle therapy within weeks of surgery (with medical clearance), while others seek help months or even years later for lingering issues like stiffness, pain, or fatigue. No matter where you are in
your journey, we’re here to help.
