PHYSIOTHERAPY FOR BREAST CANCER

Physiotherapy in the breast cancer treatment process

Breast cancer and its treatments can lead to many physical and emotional changes. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or hormone therapy can all impact mobility, comfort, and body image.

The aim of specialized physiotherapy is to support you throughout this journey, respecting your pace, your needs and your feelings.

Regaining confidence in your body

After surgery or during treatment, it is common to experience tension, pain, decreased shoulder mobility, or a pulling sensation in the chest and armpit.

Through individualized care, we work together to gradually restore mobility, improve daily comfort and promote a smooth return to the activities that are important to you.

Supporting the effects of treatments

Treatments can sometimes cause pain, significant fatigue, muscle tension, scar tissue adhesions, or lymphatic circulation problems.

Physiotherapy can help you to:

• regain better mobility of the shoulder and upper limb;

• soften tissues and scars;

• reduce sensations of tension or pulling;

• prevent or manage lymphedema;

• to relieve certain pains related to treatments;

• gradually resume a suitable physical activity.

Management of lymphedema

When indicated, specific support may be offered including manual lymphatic drainage, personalized advice and the use of appropriate compression garments.

The goal is to reduce feelings of heaviness, improve comfort and promote a better quality of life on a daily basis.

A holistic and caring approach

Every woman experiences this ordeal differently. That's why the support is always personalized, within a framework of listening and compassion.

Beyond treating symptoms, the goal is to help you regain confidence in your body, reconnect with movement, and move forward serenely on your recovery journey.

Because rebuilding oneself does not only mean healing, but also relearning to inhabit one's body with confidence and gentleness.
