WHEN THE TIGHTNESS KEEPS COMING BACK…
After breast cancer treatment, burns, elective surgery or injury, recovery involves much more than simply waiting for the area to heal.
Surgery and radiation can affect the way your chest, ribs, shoulders and shoulder blades move together. Scar tissue, swelling and protective movement patterns may lead to:
• Tight shoulders and a stiff neck
• Reduced range of movement
• Heaviness or swelling
• Aching or burning sensations
• Recurring “knots” around the shoulder blade
• Weakness and fatigue during everyday activities
Heat, ice or massage may provide some short-term comfort, but when the discomfort continues to return, it is important to look at what may be contributing to it.
This may include:
1️⃣ Restricted movement through the upper back
2️⃣ Weakness around the shoulder blades
3️⃣ Limited expansion through the ribcage
4️⃣ Scar tissue and fascial restriction
5️⃣ Changes to lymphatic flow
Gentle Scar Therapy and Lymphatic Drainage Massage can be valuable parts of rehabilitation and recovery—not only following breast cancer treatment, but also after burns, cosmetic or elective surgery, skin cancer removal and other injuries.
Using gentle, respectful techniques, treatment is tailored to your body, your healing stage and your individual needs.
You deserve more than temporary relief. You deserve support that helps you move more freely, feel more comfortable and reconnect with confidence in your body.
