With rising incidence of breast cancer, and improving survivorship rates, many therapists will see an increasing number of clients who have been through a breast cancer treatment.
In this Powertalk, Emma Holly (Restore Therapy - UK) will discuss common complications as a result of breast cancer surgery and radiotherapy together with strategies for manual therapy treatment.
Short-term complications associated with breast cancer surgery that we can influence through intervention and management strategies include acute pain, oedema, sensitivity and development of larger fibrotic, thickened or widespread scar tissue.
Long-term complications such as chronic pain, scar adhesions, permanent limitations in range and quality of movement can also be addressed within a manual treatment at any stage after surgery.
