After breast cancer

Medical treatments for breast cancer can often leave patients with significant scarring, adhesions, fibrous tissue, hard and lumpy breasts, rippled or contracted breast implants, and cording. This webinar with Breast Care Osteopath, Amanda Hannaford, will explore how osteopathy is well placed to help fill the significant gap in their post-treatment care.

She will discuss her own experience working as part of her patient's MD teams (including Oncology Breast Surgeons, Radiation Oncologists, Medical Oncologists and McGrath Breast Care Nurses) and how more osteos can be accepted into this area of care.
