Breast cancer survivors who have undergone various treatments may continue to suffer from different impairments during their road to recovery. Did you know that physiotherapy can help?
Your doctor may refer you for a pre-surgical screening evaluation which records useful information such as your posture, upper limb range and strength, your activity level, goals and work related demands. This is also an opportunity to start an exercise programme which will help speed up recovery after an operation, and have your Prohealth Asia physiotherapist explain what to expect during the post-surgical rehabilitation phase.

Physiotherapy alleviates the common side effects of breast surgery such as:
- Adhesions and scarring of the soft tissue
