Oncology Rehabilitation

Physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech and language pathologists can be an important part of the the health care team during and after cancer treatment. The medical treatment to treat cancer can result in conditions such as lymphedema, fatigue, deconditioning, limited mobility, or difficulty swallowing. Our rehabilitation team offers individualized care to address specific needs and goals.
