What is Breast Cancer Recovery?

Breast cancer recovery refers to the structured, evidence-based rehabilitation process following breast cancer treatment. This includes recovery from breast surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and other cancer treatments. At InHands, we understand that each cancer journey is different. That's why our programs are tailored to the needs of cancer patients to support healing, reduce pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life. Our breast cancer recovery services are supported by the latest techniques in post-surgical care and include manual therapy, scar tissue management, lymphatic drainage, and therapeutic exercise.

Our Breast Cancer Recovery Approach

Tailored Exercise Programs

We develop individualized exercise programs based on metric and imperial units to help you regain strength safely. Exercises start gently and build progressively to restore function without putting strain on healing tissues.

Manual Therapy

Hands-on techniques help address scar tissue, soft tissue restrictions, and joint stiffness. Our trained therapists use touch gestures such as light pressure, drag, and double tap techniques to mobilize tissue and improve circulation.

Education & Empowerment

We help patients understand how to protect and support their body during recovery. From proper posture to energy conservation, our team educates patients and their families with helpful resources and practical tools.

Emotional & Community Support

Healing is not just physical. We offer guidance, counseling resources, and peer support to help you feel emotionally supported. Our patient coordinator can also help connect you with support groups, counseling, and programs for cancer patients in the San Jose area.
