Physical Therapy
Relieve Pain, Restore Mobility
Stronger With Shannon offers several physical therapy options for a variety of injuries and ailments.
Our speciality, however, is oncology rehabilitation, with an emphasis on breast cancer recovery.
We use proven, evidence-based therapy techniques to relieve pain, restore mobility, and help you recover fully from surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and/or hormone therapy treatments. We understand the physical and emotional complexities surrounding each person’s breast cancer experience. We’ll work closely with you to develop a personalized plan that will help mitigate the development of long term issues (like restricted range of motion, fibrosis, lymphedema, deconditioning, vestibular issues, pain and neuropathy).
