Why I need breast cancer rehab?

If you have been diagnosed with breast cancer, you should be referred at least once for a consultation with a physical or occupational therapist. Top comprehensive cancer hospitals across the United States are now including a rehab model which integrates physical therapy services as part of breast cancer care in order to educate breast cancer patients of the potential physical side effects related to the medical cancer treatment.  Rehabilitation is becoming a main stain which involves a breast cancer patient visiting the therapist pre surgery to receive education  and for baseline measurements to be obtained.

A post surgical physical therapy visit occurs about two weeks after surgery for a re evaluation in order to assess the presence of impairments and for exercise prescription. If any deficits are identified, then physical therapy will be prescribed to address issues. Otherwise, the patient is educated to continue self surveillance and to follow up with their physician if impairments arise. In many cases, physical therapy services are covered by your insurance company.
