Breast Cancer Recovery

More and more women are surviving breast cancer. The American Cancer Society cites a 91% five-year relative survival rate for women in the United States. Yet, there can be unique challenges for some women in their journey to recovery.

From higher rates of diagnosis under the age of 40 to disparities in access to care, some women encounter physical, emotional, and systemic hurdles in breast cancer treatment and recovery.

As you navigate your journey to healing and recovery, think about your response when the doctor says, “You are cancer-free!”

Ask yourself: What does remission look like?

What does the journey to recovery as a breast cancer survivor entail? The reality is that many breast cancer warriors have no clue.

Healing With Grace, Strength, and Support

Our team offers virtual 1-on-1 consultations, education, guidance, and comprehensive post-mastectomy and reconstruction recovery plans. The G.Y.R.L.S. focuses on helping you understand how to decrease post-surgical limitations, pain, or discomfort. Our goal is to help you recover your physical health in remission.

The side effects of necessary cancer treatments are often mentioned briefly and dismissed, yet they can be long-lasting. Breast cancer survivors rarely receive the tools, resources, and support needed to fully recover and reclaim their bodies—mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Physical Therapy can help breast cancer survivors heal safely and gives survivors the tools to deal with some of the lasting effects of surviving breast cancer.
