Rehabilitation

Following surgery, physiotherapy can be an important step towards maximising your recovery.

Geelong Cancer Rehabilitation sees patients from diagnosis, through post-operative phase and treatment and then onto a guided exercise program using the PINC Pilates method to optimise physical and functional recovery.

Pre-operative assessment and education

Geelong Cancer Rehabilitation can empower you with knowledge to maximise your post-operative recovery. Each patient is assessed individually to provide a treatment regime to facilitate recovery from all cancer and reconstructive surgeries.

Lymphoedema prevention

Lymphoedema can be prevented and if you have lymph node removal we can help you with skin care advice, exercise prescription and precautions to minimise your risk of developing lymphoedema.

Lymphoedema management

Including bandaging, garment prescription and manual lymphatic drainage. At Geelong Cancer Rehabilitation we work with you to manage limb swelling and allow you to return to your previous quality of life. Research shows that early intervention can prevent lymphoedma. At Geelong Cancer Rehabilitation we can assist you with individual exercise programmes suited to you and your lifestyle.

Treatment of cording and post-operative scar management

Physiotherapy is an important step to regaining full range of motion and reducing pain following breast surgery. Cording or axillary web syndrome prevents shoulder movement and if untreated may lead to further shoulder pathologies. At Geelong Cancer Rehabilitation we use both manual physiotherapy treatments and exercise prescription to restore full shoulder motion and decrease pain.

Kerry Browne has 20 years experience as a physiotherapist and spent the first 15 years of her career specialising in musculoskeletal injuries. Her work in London 15 years ago at a clinic specialising in low back pain led her to train as a polestar pilates practitioner.

After returning to Australia Kerry worked at a busy practice specialising in the rehabilitation of cancer patients utilising both manual and pilates skills.

A passion for optimal wellness for these clients inspired her to train as a lymphoedema therapist and then as a Pinc Pilates therapist.

Kerry lives in Highton with her husband, three children and her dog Lola.
