Cancer Rehabilitation at Carlisle Place

​

Cancer treatment can place significant physical and emotional demands on the body. The American Cancer Society recommends regular physical activity during and after treatment to help reduce fatigue and nausea, improve strength and mobility, and support a return to everyday activities. Research also shows that consistent exercise may improve survival following a cancer diagnosis.

​

At Carlisle Place, our specialized cancer rehabilitation program is designed to support you at every stage of your recovery. Our physical and occupational therapy team can:

• Assist with recovery after surgery

• Monitor for signs of lymphedema and provide education on risk reduction

• Treat complications related to lymphedema

• Develop a safe, customized exercise program to help you regain strength and confidence​

 

We are proud to have a certified lymphedema therapist on-site to provide expert, individualized care.

Strength After Breast Cancer Program

Carlisle Place offers the Strength After Breast Cancer program, a personalized assessment and treatment plan for individuals following a breast cancer diagnosis. This evidence-based program is available to all breast cancer survivors who have completed their cancer treatments, pending clearance from both their oncologist and physical therapist.

​

The program is grounded in the results of the Physical Activity and Lymphedema (PAL) trial—a one-year, randomized clinical study funded by the National Cancer Institute—showing that guided, progressive exercise can safely improve strength and function in breast cancer survivors.

Our goal is to help you rebuild strength, restore confidence, and support long-term wellness.
