Cancer Rehabilitation

Our cancer rehabilitation professionals provide cancer patients and their families with an improved quality of life.

REACH is a team of therapists trained to provide rehabilitation for cancer patients. The team consists of a lymphedema specialist, speech therapist, occupational therapist and physical therapist. We can address problems caused by side effects from cancer treatments, including:

• Muscle weakness
• Chronic fatigue
• Limitations in range of motion
• Balance/gait
• Lymphedema
• Swallowing dysfunction
• Pain

Our goal is to improve physical activity and endurance level, decrease pain and edema, return patient to work when appropriate and improve patient’s functional level to highest possible to allow the patient to live a normal, active life.
