CardioFlex Therapy Making Strides by Hard Rock Cafe

http://www.cardioflextherapy.com/blog/cardioflex-therapy-making-strides-by-hard-rock-cafe/


Whether we’ve faced it ourselves, or someone we love has, almost everyone has been affected by breast cancer in some way, and we can all do something about it. Donating or participating in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event you’re helping the American Cancer Society make a difference in so many ways, from funding innovative breast cancer research to simply providing a hand to hold. Our physical and occupational therapists are encouraged to give back to our community by participating in cancer related fundraisers and increasing awareness.  We are coming together to celebrate survivors, have fun, and raise money and awareness for the American Cancer Society’s efforts to save lives from breast cancer.

When:
Saturday October 20

Location:
Huizenga Plaza,
1 E. Las Olas Blvd.
Fort Lauderdale

Time:
7am Registration
8am Start

CardioFlex Therapy sees first hand the positive impact that physical therapy has on cancer survivors, post-surgical and post-radiation patients. Research has found that physical therapy services are more commonly sought out for individuals surviving breast and genitourinary cancers, although it is beneficial to a wide range of cancer survivors. The most common impairments were strength loss and soft tissue dysfunction, both which can be treated at physical therapy clinics. After surgery, patients may experience tightness around the surgical site caused by scar tissue formation. The result can be very dense tissue under the incision, which is painful and can restrict range of motion, and early treatment by a physical therapist can help reduce the pain and help regain functional range of motion and strength.
Join us at this great event and support the American Cancer Society.
