Understanding Breast Cancer Rehabilitation
Breast cancer treatments, such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, can lead to various physical side effects, including reduced shoulder mobility, pain, fatigue, and lymphoedema.
Some individuals may also develop cording, also known as axillary web syndrome. Cording often presents as tight, cord-like bands under the skin of the arm, armpit, or chest, which can cause discomfort and restrict movement. It is thought to result from inflammation or scarring of the lymphatic vessels after surgery.
Our rehabilitation program aims to address these challenges, providing targeted therapies and exercises that promote healing and long-term wellness.

Our Approach to Breast Cancer Recovery
Comprehensive Assessment
Our experienced therapists begin with a thorough assessment of your current health, physical limitations, and personal goals. This allows us to create a customised plan that directly addresses your unique recovery needs.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
For clients experiencing lymphoedema or swelling after surgery, MLD is a gentle, hands-on technique that helps stimulate lymph flow, reduce fluid retention, and alleviate discomfort.
Targeted Exercises for Mobility and Strength
Tailored exercises are essential to regaining shoulder and upper body mobility, building strength, and restoring function. Our programs are carefully designed to progress at your pace, helping you achieve flexibility and improved movement without overexertion.
Compression therapy
If you have early signs of lymphoedema in the breast, chest wall, or arm, we can measure, order and fit for compression garments
Cording (Axillary Web Syndrome) Management
If you develop cording, our therapists use techniques to gently stretch and release the cords, as well as laser therapy to help restore range of motion and reduce discomfort. These treatments aim to gradually improve flexibility and make everyday movements more comfortable.
Scar Management
Surgical scars can cause tightness and discomfort. We use specialised techniques to improve scar flexibility, reduce restrictions, and enhance overall comfort, supporting a more natural healing process.
Education and Self-Care
We empower you with the knowledge and techniques to support your own recovery at home. Our team provides guidance on safe exercises, proper posture, and ways to prevent complications, so you feel confident managing your health.
