Breast cancer is a complex and devastating disease that affects millions of women worldwide. From diagnosis to treatment, it often takes a toll on both the physical and emotional well-being of patients. However, one aspect of cancer treatment that is often overlooked but has proven to be highly beneficial is physiotherapy. This specialized form of therapy focuses on improving and restoring physical function, reducing pain and discomfort, and promoting overall well-being for breast cancer patients. By combining targeted exercises, manual therapy techniques, and other specialized interventions, physiotherapy can play a pivotal role in the healing journey of breast cancer patients, helping them regain their strength and quality of life.
