Cancer Rehab Services
The cancer journey can be daunting and exhausting. The treatments themselves are tough to get through and can take a toll on your body. Long after treatments are finished, you can experience side effects that keep you from feeling like yourself! You may experience one or more of the following:
- Scar tissue restriction from surgeries
- Lymphedema and swelling
- Cancer-related fatigue: that tired feeling that you just can’t sleep off
- Pain
- Weakness. From surgeries or deconditioning from the disease and treatments·
- Tightness. Radiation, surgery, swelling and lack of mobility can all contribute to tightness through the affected area
- Pelvic floor dysfunction can result from treatment such as chemotherapy and surgery. Symptoms of this could be: pain, pressure, difficulty controlling urination/bowel movements, or sexual dysfunction
- Chemo-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy: numbness and tingling in your hands or feet
Physical therapy is a crucial part of managing these side effects of treatments and allowing you to feel like YOU again!
