Rehabilitation for women following breast surgery
The rehabilitation of women undergoing breast surgery plays a leading role in the path of oncological treatment.
The appropriate and personalized rehabilitation program, aimed at the prevention and treatment of post-surgical complications, includes, through specific manual therapies and a physical activity in the pool and gym, a significant improvement in the motor and psychophysical dynamics impaired by surgical outcomes, favouring the restoration of normal quality of life.
The main advantages of the rehabilitation:
- Prevention of postoperative complications
The therapy helps prevent complications such as scar adhesions, muscle stiffness, and lymphatic dysfunction, reducing the risk of lymphedema.
- Improved mobility and functionality
Specific exercises promote the restoration of joint and muscle mobility impaired by surgery, allowing a faster return to normal daily activities.
- Pain management
The physiotherapist through manual therapy techniques associated with physical instrumental therapy (pressotherapy, laser therapy etc.) helps to manage the painful phase of the aftercare.
- Improvement of the lymphatic circulation
Lymph drainage and pressure therapy can help prevent lymphedema and improve lymph circulation, reducing the risk of interstitial fluid accumulation and swelling of the limbs.
- Restoration of trust and psychological wellbeing
The physiotherapist not only cares about motor
recovery, but also of the psychological wellbeing of the patient,
helping her to deal with the emotional aspect of the entire oncological
path.
