After cancer surgery, people sometimes develop tight or painful scars.

There may be limited motion in different joints. For example, after breast cancer surgery a woman may find that her shoulder does not move as far as it had previously, and there may be pain when the arm is raised.

Areas of the body that have been radiated can become firm and tight. This is called radiation fibrosis.

Sometimes people develop swelling in the trunk, breast, arm, or leg. This swelling is called lymphedema.

Effective treatment is available for all of these conditions. Marian Lord has specialized in working with lymphedema and soft tissue restrictions for fourteen years.

What Clients are Saying

"It had been three years since my breast cancer surgery, and I had been through a lymphedema program. I thought I would just have to put up with the discomfort I experienced in my arm, torso, and back. I heard such great things about Marian that I decided to see her and let her evaluate my condition. I have found the greatest physical therapist there is. I can't tell you in words how nice it is to be pain free, now. The difference is phenomenal."
