Breast care physiotherapy helps to improve pain, stiffness, and function both during and after breast cancer treatment.
Some complications can include cording (axillary web syndrome), scar tissue and myofascial tightness, fatigue, pain, reduced arm and core strength, which physiotherapy can help with. Treatment can include soft tissue myofascial techniques, exercises to improve strength, flexibility and control, joint mobilisations, and actionable advice to minimise discomfort. Breathwork and yoga can also help to alleviate stress and anxiety.
