Post-mastectomy rehab to support your recovery.
Compassionate, specialized rehab after mastectomy or breast cancer surgery, restoring your shoulder motion, strength, and confidence at a pace you set. Available at the participating clinics listed below.
This program is for you if…
Recovery after breast cancer surgery deserves specialized hands.
- You've had a mastectomy or lumpectomy
- Your shoulder or chest feels tight and restricted
- You're experiencing cording or scar tightness
- Reaching overhead or behind you is difficult
- You're preparing for or recovering from reconstruction
- You want your strength and confidence back
Healing that honors what you've been through.
Breast cancer surgery affects far more than the surgical site. Scar tissue, radiation, and protective posture can limit your shoulder, chest, and neck, and it can feel scary to move at all.
Our therapists provide gentle, specialized care in a private setting, restoring motion and strength step by step, always at a pace you're comfortable with. You've been through enough. This part should feel like progress.
Restoring motion, strength, and confidence.
Specialized care, gently delivered.

Progressive work that restores comfortable reach, posture, and range of motion.
Strength rebuilding

In Illinois you can start physical therapy without a doctor's referral, so there's nothing standing between you and relief. We accept most major plans and offer self-pay options. Not sure about your coverage? We'll check it for you before your first visit.
What to expect, start to finish.
Here's exactly what your first visit looks like.
We listen first
We start with your history, your symptoms, and the goals that matter to you.
We find the cause
We look at how your whole body moves to find what's driving your pain, not just where it hurts.
You leave with a plan
A hands-on treatment plan built around your body and your life, and a therapist who stays with you the whole way.
Connected care.
The same care at every clinic.
Every therapist on our team is trained in the entirety of the kinetic chain. That means we look at how your whole body moves, not just the part that hurts, and treat the cause instead of the symptom. Your care is tailored to your needs at our participating clinics.
One proven approach
The same hands-on, whole-body approach guides every plan we build.
One standard, every clinic
Every clinic is held to the same standard, set by therapists with advanced training in how the body moves.
A team that knows you
You'll see the same faces at your home clinic, people who know your name and your goals.
You're in good hands.
