Are you a breast cancer survivor? Do you know a breast cancer survivor looking for ways to improve physical functionality? Physical Therapy can offer many health benefits to breast cancer survivors. After having treatments for breast cancer one of the hardest decisions breast cancer patients can make is deciding how to get back to their normal work routines and lives. It’s normal for cancer survivors to change their outlooks on life and modify their priorities. But the ultimate goal of patients that have survived cancer is to return to good health and full function.
Radiation treatments, chemotherapy and surgery all take toil on cancer survivors. Here are some common side effects of cancer treatments:
- Chronic Fatigue
- Higher risk for Osteoporosis
