reconstructive surgery

If your personal cancer story happens to include reconstructive surgery, you will want to cycle between the post surgery program and the prehabilitation program according to the timing of your surgeries.  Please see these other pages for details. 

Reconstruction is often a multistep process and is highly individual.  As such, we strongly recommend you request a referral to a physical therapist with specialty training in oncology.  There may be particular exercises these trained professionals can teach you that would assist with maintaining function and range of motion after reconstruction.
