Pain relief

Physical therapy may use techniques such as massage, manual therapy, and electrotherapy to help relieve pain associated with cancer and its treatments, such as surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy.

Improved mobility and functionality

Cancer patients may experience limitations in their mobility and functionality due to muscle weakness, joint stiffness, or the sequelae of surgery. Physical therapy can help improve mobility, muscle strength, and functional capacity through therapeutic exercises, stretching, and rehabilitation techniques.

lymphedema

Some cancer treatments can cause a buildup of fluid in the tissues, known as lymphedema. Physical therapists can teach manual lymphatic drainage techniques and provide specific exercises to help prevent and treat lymphedema.

Post-surgical Rehabilitation

After cancer-related surgery, such as a mastectomy or lymph node removal, physical therapy can help with physical and emotional recovery. Specific exercises, manual therapy, and self-care education can be performed to improve healing, reduce stiffness, and restore functionality.

Quality of life

Physical therapy can help cancer patients maintain or improve their quality of life by reducing physical symptoms, improving physical function, and promoting independence and participation in daily activities.
