Oncology Rehabilitation

Hello, Same Stars Wellness community! Today, we're embarking on Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) for Oncology Rehabilitation. Join me as we explore the challenges individuals face during cancer treatment and how MLD can be a cornerstone of their recovery journey.

Understanding Oncology Rehabilitation

Cancer and its treatments bring forth a myriad of challenges, often extending beyond the physical realm. From surgery to chemotherapy and radiation therapy, individuals undergoing oncology treatment may experience a range of issues, including lymphedema, swelling, pain, fatigue, and compromised immune function. Oncology rehabilitation focuses on addressing these challenges, promoting recovery, and enhancing quality of life.

In the realm of oncology rehabilitation, MLD emerges as a powerful tool that may help to alleviate symptoms while supporting the body's natural healing processes. Chelsey's expertise in MLD becomes an invaluable asset in facilitating the rehabilitation journey for individuals affected by cancer and its treatments.
