At Therapy Solutions, our therapists can provide expert care regarding cancer rehabilitation and lymphedema management to improve your quality of life. Being diagnosed with cancer can be exhausting and confusing. One day you were fine, the next day you are in your physician’s office talking about your future plans to tackle a serious hardship.
With extensive education and training regarding proper exercise and nutrition guidelines, treatment side effects, and possible emotional trauma from the experience, our staff can help you and your family navigate the many questions you may have.
Side effects of treatment that Therapy Solutions can help mitigate:
- Generalized weakness and fatigue
- Brain fog
- Scar tissue formation
- Pain
- Fibrosis
- Decreased appetite
- Return to sex/intimacy difficulties

Along with the above mentioned, people with a cancer diagnosis may experience lymphedema from blocked or removed lymph vessels due to surgeries or radiation treatment. Lymphedema is swelling mostly found in the arms or legs but can be experienced in the trunk/abdomen region. Other symptoms of lymphedema include heaviness in a limb, pain, infections, weakness, and/or loss of range of motion.
