Are you treating your scars?
John Barnes Myofascial Release can be a helpful treatment tool following mastectomies, breast reduction, and augmentation. Once healing has occurred after a mastectomy, john barnes myofascial release techniques performed below and above the scar area can help eliminate the pain. This technique can also soften the scar.
If your surgeon or any other medical professional you trust didn’t tell you, treating your scars is massively important. The first thing the scalpel cuts into with any surgery is the connective tissue or your fascial system. Fascia lays over muscle and goes down to the cellular level. This is where inflammation originates from.
If scars are left untreated, they can develop adhesions that will continue dehydrating the fascial system, ultimately affecting surrounding areas and causing neck, shoulder, head, and even jaw issues.
Scarring from breast augmentation or chemotherapy and radiation can cause significant restrictions that affect the breast tissue, contributing to chest, abdominal, shoulder, and neck pain.
What to expect at Revive Physical Therapy
When you visit our clinic, our dedicated team will develop a personalized treatment plan that is perfectly aligned with your needs. Your pain-relieving plan will be designed based on your current pain symptoms and the specific issues you bring to us.
After a thorough evaluation to detect any impairments or pain sources, you may be prescribed manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, therapeutic modalities, cardiovascular conditioning, or strength training.
Gentle therapeutic exercise is generally one of the first choices for patients in breast cancer rehabilitation.
Exercising under the guidance of an attentive OT or PT is a safe way to get your body moving again after surgery, or after intense energy-depleting cancer treatments.
Therapeutic exercise can also help you regain your range of motion and strength.
At Revive Physical Therapy, we understand how difficult and emotionally draining it can be to rebuild your “normal” life after cancer.
Our number one priority is to support you during this transition and make sure you are equipped with all the resources you need to start regaining your strength.
