Tx:Team Launches Cancer Care Program

in

Tx:Team is proud to announce the launch of our Cancer Care Program, designed to support individuals at every stage of their cancer journey—from diagnosis and treatment to survivorship.

Cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the body grow uncontrollably, forming tumors. While some tumors are benign, others can be malignant, spreading to different parts of the body and causing significant harm. There are over 100 types of cancer, including lung, colon, and breast cancer. Although life-saving treatments are crucial, they often come with challenging side effects such as pain, weakness, reduced mobility, speech difficulties, and swallowing problems. These hurdles can make daily tasks overwhelming. That’s where physical, occupational, and speech therapy play a crucial role, enhancing recovery and improving quality of life.

Tx:Team created a program for everyone because cancer knows no boundaries. It can touch any life, at any age, at any time. Every journey is unique, and we focus on what matters most to you. Whether it’s returning to hobbies, cherishing time with loved ones, or finding joy in daily life, we’re here to empower you with the tools and support to make it possible.

Our expert team of physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists collaborate to address a wide range of needs:

  • Physical Therapy: Focuses on reducing cancer-related fatigue, restoring strength, improving balance, and rebuilding endurance to help patients regain mobility and energy.
  • Occupational Therapy: Assists with managing side effects like neuropathy, joint pain, and lymphedema, teaching techniques for energy conservation and helping patients regain independence in daily activities.
  • Speech Therapy: Supports those facing speech, cognitive, or swallowing difficulties due to cancer or its treatment, offering strategies to maintain communication and nutrition.
  • Lymphedema Therapy: Provides specialized care, including manual lymph drainage, compression therapy, and self-management education to reduce swelling and discomfort.

Our Cancer Care Program offers skilled support throughout all phases of treatment:

  • Preventive: Pre-surgical evaluations, functional assessments, exercise prescriptions, and bioimpedance screenings to prevent lymphedema.
  • Restorative: Therapeutic exercises, neuromuscular re-education, manual therapy, and cognitive rehabilitation to restore function and improve daily living.
  • Supportive: Pain management, patient education, and guidance to manage treatment side effects, with seamless collaboration with the healthcare team.
  • Palliative: Focused on enhancing comfort, managing pain, and improving quality of life.

At the heart of Tx:Team’s Cancer Care Program is a simple belief: recovery isn’t just about surviving—it’s about reclaiming your life. We are dedicated to walking alongside our patients, helping them rediscover strength, confidence, and purpose.
