ShechterCare Specialized, progressive rehab after breast cancer surgery. Raise Your Arms High-Live Without Limits

ShechterCare is a therapist owned practice specializing in lymphedema therapy and therapy after breast cancer surgery. Therapies consist of:

The lymphedema treatment options are:

• Manual Lymphatic Drainage: This non-invasive specialized massage stimulates the lymphatic system to allow for improved lymph circulation and drains the lymph fluid from the arm/leg.
• Vasopneumatic Pump: This special machine maximizes the reduction of limb size by stimulating the veins to work better and helps soften firm areas of the limb in preparation for manual lymphatic drainage. Compression Bandaging: Multiple layers of short-stretch bandages are applied to the arm to reduce its size.
• Individualized Comprehensive Fitness Program: Flexibility, strengthening and aerobic exercises to enhance lymph flow.
• Compression Garments: Help maintain the reduced size of the limb after a full course of treatment.
• Patient Education: Includes skin care, lifestyle modifications and an individualized home management program. Post mastectomy/lumpectomy therapy:

Studies have shown it is extremely beneficial to exercise post breast cancer surgery to reduce the risk of developing lymphedema and to regain flexibility and strength that may have been lost during and after surgery (Lacomba, 2010). Our therapists work closely with clients to develop programs to meet their specific needs and to create a progressive exercise program to help achieve their goals. An individualized exercise program that focuses on:

- Postural awareness
- Flexibility
- Strength
- Endurance Training
- Range of Motion
- Pain reduction
- Myofascial release
- Scar mobilization
- Functional re-education

Love this and happy international FLAT day.

Today is "International FLAT Day” It was created to celebrate going flat – to promote breast reconstruction awareness, to promote flat closure (breastless, chest wall reconstruction after mastectomy), to promote flat reconstruction as a valid choice, and to bring together the flat community in sisterhood! (from: internationalflatday.wordpress.com)

Very very true

“I didn’t do the whole wig thing,” Penn State Women's Volleyball coach Katie Schumacher-Cawley says. Last year, while her team was fighting for the NCAA championships, she was was fighting her own battle: undergoing treatment for stage II breast cancer.

“So many people reached out. You don’t realize how hard losing your hair is until it happens. I just rocked the caps and went with it—and I think that really helped others.” ❤️
