Go! Physiotherapy 

Breast Cancer Rehabilitation, Lymphedema

Physiotherapists at Go! Physiotherapy are equipped with clinical rehabilitation expertise, oncology specialization, manual lymphatic drainage certification (LANA), and decades of rehabilitation experience in exercise prescription and cancer care. 
Guided by the latest research, and in regular communication with the patient’s medical team, our physiotherapists conduct a detailed medical assessment, design a personalized treatment plan and progressive exercise program. Your physiotherapist will apply expert knowledge and skills to alleviate painful movement restrictions, cording, lymphedema (swelling due to lymph node removal) with manual therapy techniques, lymphatic drainage, and progressive, individualized exercise prescription.
Our therapists understand each stage of recovery, the complex side effects of treatment, and are sensitive to the challenges that arise. They provide assistance in combating:

  • chemo-related fatigue and neuropathies 
  • bone disorders
  • joint pain and stiffness 
  • loss of strength
  • loss of fitness
  • movement restrictions, cording and loss of flexibility
  • tissue tightness commonly experienced following radiation
What is Post-Mastectomy Physiotherapy? Read here
Physiotherapist-directed exercise programs are provided in an individual or small group setting and are personalized in accordance with the patient’s stage of physical recovery, flexibility, strength and/or fitness objectives. With close physiotherapist supervision and direction (often in collaboration with third party insurance providers), these carefully-designed exercise programs enable physical and functional goals to be attained without exacerbation of pain or fatigue. They ensure a safe and successful return to work and the ability to get life back to normal.
