Overview
Breast reconstruction involves complex surgery which can affect the movement and sensation at the shoulder joint, shoulder girdle and the thoracic spine.
The aim of physiotherapy is to regain movement at the shoulder and achieve functional use of the arm. If you require an inpatient stay a physiotherapist will review you the day after your surgery.
An outpatient physiotherapy appointment will be arranged for approximately 3 weeks after your surgery date.
