Cancer Rehabilitation
From Diagnosis to Survivorship, Live Your Best Life.
Persons after stroke, disease, accident and surgery are routinely ushered into rehabilitation. It should be the same with cancer. All cancer treatments present risk for musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary and functional impairments and dysfunction.
We can help!
Most Cancer Survivors have the potential to reach 90-100% of their previous function with physical therapy.
