Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services focus on restoring mobility and function for patients recovering from cancer treatments. Using manual techniques and advanced equipment, we address pain, weakness, and postural issues. Treatment plans are customized to improve strength, balance, and overall quality of life for oncology patients.
Lymphedema Treatment
Specialized lymphedema treatment includes manual lymph drainage, compression therapy, and FDA-approved laser technology to reduce swelling and fibrosis. We utilize bioimpedance spectroscopy for early detection and tailor programs to manage lymphatic system disorders caused by cancer treatments.
Oncology Rehabilitation
Oncology rehabilitation addresses impairments from cancer treatments through prehabilitation and post-treatment programs. Our therapists develop individualized plans to prevent lymphedema, reduce fatigue, and restore physical function using evidence-based interventions and patient education.

Wellness programs offer continued support after physical therapy, including group classes and one-on-one training. These programs focus on strengthening, flexibility, and endurance to help patients maintain long-term health improvements following cancer treatment limitations.
