Cancer and its treatments can have significant effects on the body. To reduce the impact on your quality of life, Orlando Health has designed an Oncology Rehabilitation Program to meet the needs of patients undergoing cancer treatment.

The Orlando Health Advanced Rehabilitation Institute monitors individuals with cancer before, during and after their treatments to watch for physical or functional limitations caused by the treatments. Our interdisciplinary team helps patients manage those symptoms, promote increased independence and most importantly, improve overall quality of life. 

Our team will assess and treat changes in:

• Pain
• Strength
• Lymphedema status

If changes occur, your physical or occupational therapist will help you develop a treatment plan to minimize the impact on your life. Early intervention helps to optimize long-term outcomes, promoting healthy lifestyles throughout treatment and survivorship.

The Orlando Health Advanced Rehabilitation Institute’s certified lymphedema therapists offer comprehensive lymphedema therapy. Lymphedema is swelling caused by a buildup of fluid – usually in the arms or legs – after the body’s lymph nodes can no longer drain fluid. It is a lifelong chronic condition that needs to be managed to minimize its impact on daily activities and quality of life.

Therapy may include:

• Manual lymphatic drainage
• Compression therapy
• Exercises
• Education for patient, family and caregivers to prepare them for self-management and prevention
• Education and optimization for surgical interventions, including vascularized lymph node transfer and lipedema surgeries
