At Moving Forward Wellness, your therapist will work side-by-side with you to address your specific needs and concerns and come up with an individualized solution and plan.

We use specialized manual therapy techniques to reduce pain, swelling, scar tissue and fibrosis caused by mastectomy, breast reconstruction, lymph node dissection, lumpectomy, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Over the years we have found that protocol-based therapy that focuses on diagnosis does not work to address the needs of the individual.
