Shoulder mobility matters—especially during and after cancer treatment. Active Assisted Range of Motion (AAROM) shoulder abduction exercises can help restore movement, reduce stiffness, and support healing for anyone navigating surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.

These gentle movements are designed to honor where you are today, whether you’re rebuilding strength, managing scar tightness, or working through swelling. AAROM exercises encourage safe, supported motion, helping you regain confidence and comfort in your daily activities.

At Cancer Rehab & Integrative Medicine, our team guides you through personalized exercises that meet your needs and goals. You don’t have to do this alone—every step forward is worth celebrating.

If you’re curious about how AAROM shoulder abduction can fit into your recovery, reach out to our team. We’re here to help you move, heal, and thrive.

💗 **LYMPHEDEMA CARE: THERE'S MORE TO TREATMENT THAN YOU MIGHT THINK!**

Living with lymphedema can be frustrating, uncomfortable, and confusing. Whether you're experiencing swelling after cancer treatment or have been managing lymphedema for years, specialized care can make a difference.

At Cancer Rehab & Integrative Medicine, we offer Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT), the gold-standard approach to lymphedema treatment, for every patient we treat for lymphedema.

✨What does CDT include?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage: Gentle, specialized techniques that help redirect lymphatic fluid toward functioning drainage pathways.

Compression Bandaging or Garments: Help manage swelling, support fluid movement, and soften hardened or fibrotic tissue.

Therapeutic Exercise: Movement designed to encourage lymphatic circulation and support everyday function.

Education & Self-Management: Learn important skin care practices, precautions, and strategies to help manage lymphedema between appointments.

Lymphedema treatment isn't one-size-fits-all. Our team works with each patient to create an individualized plan that supports their needs, goals, and quality of life.

You don't have to navigate lymphedema alone.Specialized rehabilitation can help you take an active role in managing your symptoms and caring for your body.

What is Lymphedema?

10/21/2026

Finishing cancer treatment can be a huge milestone. But what happens when the side effects linger?

Scar tightness. Restricted movement. Swelling. Tissue changes after radiation. Fatigue that makes everyday tasks feel harder than they used to.

These experiences are real, and you deserve support with them.

Oncology rehabilitation focuses on helping you address physical changes related to cancer and its treatment. Depending on your needs, care may include individualized movement, manual therapy, scar mobilization, lymphedema treatment, and strategies to help you return to the activities that matter to you.

You don't have to simply accept every lingering side effect as your new normal without exploring your options.

At CRIM, our physical therapists specialize in cancer rehabilitation and work alongside your oncology team to support your comfort, function, and quality of life.

💗 Save this post as a reminder that support is available, even after treatment ends.

We’re proud to share that Dr. Angela WIcker-Ramos, our founder of Cancer Rehab & Integrative Medicine, oncology physical therapist, and certified lymphedema specialist, will be presenting at Breast Cancer University this Thursday, October 22!

Cancer treatment can affect the lymphatic system, sometimes leading to chronic lymphedema. Recognizing the signs, understanding risk factors, and knowing when to refer someone to a certified lymphedema specialist can make a meaningful difference in survivorship care.

Angela’s presentation will help healthcare professionals better understand lymphatic health, recognize concerns, identify screening tools, and support timely referrals for appropriate care.

At CRIM, we believe cancer care doesn't end when treatment does. Education, early recognition, and specialized rehabilitation are essential parts of helping people live well during and after cancer treatment.

👏 Join us in celebrating Angela’s continued commitment to advancing oncology rehabilitation and improving care for people affected by cancer!
