Breast Cancer Rehabilitation
Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy can ease side effects of cancer and aid in breast cancer recovery. At Westbury Total Health Care, we offer post-mastectomy pain management, individualized recovery plans, and lymphedema prevention strategies in Westbury, NY. Our board-certified physicians and our occupational therapist and physical therapist are committed to guiding each patient through their individual journey to wellness after breast cancer surgery. We believe that collaborative healthcare for breast cancer recovery is crucial for managing pain and discomfort and improving mobility and functionality.
Muscle Strengthening for Breast Cancer Survivors
Our tailored workout programs focus on muscle strengthening of core muscles. This will help you get up and around post-surgery and during treatment. Activity and mobility can lower your risk of complications like circulation problems, blood clots, and muscle atrophy.
Endurance Training
Our physical therapist also focuses on endurance training. This will help you fight deconditioning and fatigue during and after treatment.
Balance & Gait Training
Our physical therapist and occupational therapist can design a plan that improves your balance and gait to increase mobility. You’ll be less likely to fall during or after treatment.
Scar Tissue Treatment
Massage and manual mobilization can reduce scar tissue and promote tissue and cell regeneration.
Lymphedema Prevention Strategies
Lymphedema is a common condition that can occur post-surgery, causing swelling and discomfort. Our team can help you recognize early warning signs of lymphedema and prevent it from occurring.
Muscle & Joint Pain Management
Muscle and joint pain is common during and after treatment and surgery. We use physical therapy exercises and treatments to manage pain and find relief.
Individualized Recovery Plans
Our individualized recovery plans take into account your personal lifestyle, overall health, concerns, and goals. We will educate you on home exercise programs you can continue on your own. We will also discuss activity modification to ease your recovery, and diet and nutritional counseling.
