Our research portfolio
Throughout our careers, we have been passionate advocates for improving cancer rehabilitation and education.
Most recently, we have been involved in developing national patient resources, helping ensure that those with a breast cancer diagnosis have access to evidence-based information on lymphoedema prevention.
Despite all the advances in breast cancer treatment, our experience shows that physical rehabilitation, which is a vital part of returning to health and well-being, can often be overlooked.
At Thrive Breast Rehabilitation
We believe that recovery does not end when treatment finishes. Our tailor made courses are designed to give you the knowledge, confidence and practical skills to take an active role in your rehabilitation journey.
We aim to teach you how to:
- Safely rehabilitate after breast cancer treatments
- Manage common physical side-effects, including shoulder and ribcage stiffness
- Improve scar condition and mobility
- Understand, reduce and monitor your risk of lymphoedema
- Rebuild strength, movement and confidence
