Understanding Postoperative Breast Rehabilitation
Postoperative breast rehabilitation focuses on helping patients recover after breast surgery, whether from cancer treatment, reconstructive procedures, or other breast surgeries. This specialized rehabilitation addresses issues such as lymphedema, limited range of motion, pain, and scar tissue formation. The goal is to restore function, reduce complications, and improve quality of life. In our partner clinics in Beijing and Shanghai, we use a multidisciplinary approach involving oncologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and lymphedema specialists.
Advanced Diagnostics in China
Accurate assessment is the first step toward effective treatment. Our hospitals offer:
- Physical Examination: Assessing range of motion and swelling.
- Lymphoscintigraphy: Evaluating lymphatic drainage.
- Imaging Studies: Ultrasound or MRI if needed.
- Functional Assessments: Measuring daily activity limitations.
Treatment Options
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve physical therapy, lymphedema management, scar tissue mobilization, or an integrative approach combining Western medicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to promote healing and reduce inflammation.
- Physical Therapy: Range of motion and strengthening exercises.
- Lymphedema Management: Manual lymphatic drainage and compression.
- Scar Mobilization: Techniques to reduce adhesions.
- Integrative TCM: Herbs and acupuncture for healing.
