How we help at each stage

Recovery isn’t one moment — it’s a path. Wherever
you join it, the plan adapts to exactly where you are.

1

Prehab — before treatment

Baseline measurements, strength and mobility, movement-restriction guidance, lymphedema risk reduction, and a recovery plan.

2

During treatment

Cancer-related fatigue, neuropathy, mobility, balance, deconditioning, and safe exercise.

3

Post-surgical & reconstruction

Recovery after lumpectomy, mastectomy, lymph node surgery, and reconstruction — shoulder mobility, scar-tissue management, capsular contracture support, and cording.

4

Survivorship

Strength, fatigue, confidence, and a return to the activities you love.

Care before, during, and after treatment

You can start at any stage — including before surgery. Drawing on experience launching a hospital breast cancer pre-habilitation program, Dr. Baek adapts care to exactly where you are, from prehab through survivorship.

Breast cancer rehab FAQs

When should I start — can I begin before surgery?

Can you help with cording and shoulder mobility?

Yes — cording, scar tissue, and shoulder mobility after surgery are a core focus.

Can rehab reduce my risk of lymphedema?

Yes — risk reduction, monitoring, and prompt management are central to care.

Do you offer virtual visits on low-energy days?

Yes, where appropriate.

Do you take insurance?

We’re out-of-network and cash-based. You pay at the time of service and receive a superbill you can submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
