Oncology Rehabilitation To Help You Thrive Even As You Fight Cancer
As someone who’s actively battling cancer (or has just finished treatment), you’ve probably already heard others tell you that you are strong and fighting admirably. And it’s simply true.
But what many people don’t realize is that even after the treatments, your body is left with fatigue, scars, healing incisions, weakened muscles, breathlessness and a whole range of symptoms which constitute another uphill and scary battle.
But here’s the thing. You are not alone.
We are here to strengthen and support you in your cancer recovery.
Our team at Horizon Physical Therapy works passionately to ensure that your courage and endurance is rewarded. We work together with you, to make your body more resilient, strong, and active, so that you can live your life on your terms, even during and after an extremely painful experience such as cancer.
Our Oncology Rehabilitation Services
Breast Cancer
One of the common side effects of breast cancer and its treatment is lymphedema. This happens because treatments like surgery, chemotherapy and radiation can mess up the lymphatic system which leads to swollen arms, legs and body parts.
Our rehabilitation for breast-cancer related lymphedema focuses on draining the lymph fluid and enhancing circulation via massage, wrapping and exercises. We develop other customized exercises based on your unique situation and history.
Cancers of the Genitals and Urinary System
Cancers of the prostate, bladder and ovaries are devastating for the sufferer and one of their terrible side effects is a much weaker pelvic floor. This makes normal urination and sexual function difficult, and it greatly reduces your quality of life.
Our rehabilitation helps you to strengthen your pelvic floor once again so you can live a healthy, happy and completely fulfilled life once more. And remember: you don’t have to accept anything less.
Cancer-Related Symptoms
In addition to the above types of cancer for which people frequently seek out physical therapy, cancer of any kind can lead to tremendous fatigue, weakening and exhaustion.
We are here to help you recover from that. We develop a customized rehabilitation plan that will restore your muscle strength, mobility and endurance so that you don’t have to worry about exhaustion and breathlessness so much, anymore.
Cancer-Relapse Rehabilitation
It is true that oncology is a vastly complex field with innumerable specializations. Although we have a lot more to discover about this disease, we still do know certain risk factors for cancer and cancer relapse, e.g. obesity and physical inactivity.
We don’t want you to go through the same ordeal again. Our compassionate professionals work with you to develop exercise and lifestyle choices which will serve you well and help you live better and longer.
