Physical Therapy
Physical therapy includes hands-on stretching, manual therapy and exercise for joints and muscles that are stiff, painful and have lost range of motion after mastectomy, lumpectomy, radiation or reconstruction. Specific strengthening for the shoulder and core (abdominal and trunk muscles) can help individuals return to their usual functional level. Treatment is gentle and appropriate for each phase of recovery and treatment. We also provide comprehensive and evidence-based lymphedema (swelling of the arm) treatment.

Counseling & Emotional Support
Counseling provides emotional support and practical coping strategies for the challenges that arise during and after breast cancer treatment. Research shows that emotional well-being plays a key role in recovery and overall health. Individual sessions and support groups help manage stress, anxiety, and adjustment to life changes. Guidance is compassionate and personalized for each phase of recovery, helping individuals build resilience, strengthen well-being, and feel supported every step of the way.

Exercise Oncology
Research proves that exercise during and after breast cancer improves overall quality of life, reduces fatigue, helps with lymphedema management, and decreases the risk of recurrence. Iris provides individualized exercise programs and small group classes both in person and virtual.
