Post-Cancer Physiotherapy & Lymphedema Support in Burnaby


Cancer treatment saves lives — but it can leave lasting physical effects. Many Burnaby residents experience stiffness, weakness, swelling, fatigue, or pain after surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation.

At Metrotown Active Health in Burnaby, we provide post-cancer physiotherapy rehabilitation and lymphedema-aware care to help patients safely regain movement and confidence.

Common Challenges After Cancer Treatment

  • Reduced mobility

  • Muscle weakness

  • Scar tissue restriction

  • Joint stiffness

  • Fatigue

  • Swelling or heaviness (lymphedema risk)

  • Postural changes

These issues are common — and treatable.

How Physiotherapy Helps Post-Cancer Recovery

Physiotherapy focuses on:

  • Gentle mobility restoration

  • Strength rebuilding

  • Scar tissue management

  • Postural retraining

  • Pain reduction

  • Education on swelling management

Treatments may include manual therapy, targeted exercise, ultrasound, cold laser, and gradual strengthening.

Lymphedema-Aware Physiotherapy

Even if lymphedema has not developed, early physiotherapy support can reduce risk and help patients understand warning signs.

Our approach prioritizes safety, gradual progression, and collaboration with your healthcare team.
