At Chestnut Hill Physical we understand the complexities of caring for patients before, during, and after cancer treatment. Our holistic approach will help you live your best life possible, with greater ease and energy in body, mind, and spirit. Emphasizing skilled, hands-on treatment, our goal is to minimize pain, decrease reliance on medication, and most of all create a customized pathway to healing.
Through education and a variety of treatment modalities, we can help you become an active participant in your care, reducing symptoms and ultimately regaining balance and a sense of control in your life. Part of what we offer all patients - whether they come once, a few times, or regularly - is a connection to other resources, like care products or consultations, that are in a network of providers and organizations.

Cancer treatment can be devastating to the mind, body, and spirit.
Though medical interventions address the disease, they may come with side effects causing pain, discomfort, fatigue, and other changes that diminish both ability and energy.
Physical therapy can help.
Our treatments alleviate the issues brought on by surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.
These include orthopedic complications, compromised posture, and neuropathy.
Cancer patients are often heartened when they learn the power of physical therapy to heal and revitalize.

Lymphedema is a stagnation of lymph - a fluid that contains infection-fighting white blood cells - that is no longer recirculating in the body.
There are a variety of stages of lymphedema, and the early stages are reversible.
While it may be an outcome of cancer treatment, lymphedema has other causes.
We can treat patients who have non-cancer who want relief from symptoms, and physical therapy is key.
Mild, noninvasive treatments are effective at the early stages, and they include elevation and reduction of restrictions.

It is not unusual to experience pain following surgical, radiation, or chemotherapy treatment for cancer.
The pain may have a primary cause, as in the wounds from incisions and the burns from irradiated tissue, or it may be secondary, as in the numbness that results from nerve changes associated with cancer treatment.
A variety of approaches can help to effectively manage pain: soft tissue massage, instrument assisted massage, ultrasound, dry needling, and laser therapy.
Neuropathy, or a set of symptoms caused by damage to nerves that control sensations and movements in the limbs, is experienced by cancer patients as a painful numbness at the surgical sites (original surgical site and/or harvest/reconstruction sites) and drain sites.

Compression garments can be helpful in managing lymphedema and scar management in a noninvasive manner.
The compression helps the scars to minimize because the compression causes the collagen - an abundant protein in connective tissues and skin - to lay down in a parallel fashion so it does not become raised.
Compression garments minimize the itching that is a side effect of surgery and radiation, provide more comfort, and normalize the pigmentation of the scars so that they blend in more with the patient's normal skin surface.
