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.

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.

Join CardioFlex Therapists at Relay For Life

http://www.cardioflextherapy.com/blog/join-cardioflex-therapists-at-relay-for-life/

Cancer rehabilitation is a growing area in medicine due to the increase in cancer survivorship. More and more individuals are beating cancer because of advances in medical technology, treatment and early detection. The number of cancer survivors will continue to increase in the U.S. and there will need to be more recovery strategies. When someone is undergoing cancer treatment, physical therapy may not be the first healthcare field that comes to mind. Early cancer treatment is met with oncologists, radiologists, nurses and surgeons. Rightly so, as these healthcare practicioners are essential to the treatment and management of cancer. However, don’t forget that the role of physical therapy in cancer recovery is extremely important. Physical therapist practice for persons affected by cancer and chronic illness helps by maximizing movement and wellness across the lifespan.

For this and many other reasons CardioFlex Physical Therapists in Davie are supporting Relay For Life, the signature fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, in which volunteers give their time and effort because they believe it’s time to take action against cancer. Join us at this upcoming event to bring communities together to remember loved ones lost, honor survivors of all cancers, and raise money to help the American Cancer Society make a global impact on cancer. Physical therapy is key in cancer rehabilitation.

This event will take place on September 21st. at Quiet Waters Park in Deerfield Beach. We kick off the event by honoring everyone who’s been affected by cancer and everyone who has contributed to the success of this year’s Relay season. Later a Luminaria Ceremony, representing everyone touched by cancer with a Luminaria: each light represents a life—a life taken by cancer, a survivor of cancer, or a support for a person still fighting the disease. It’s a powerful demonstration that gives people the opportunity to grieve but also offers comfort and hope. Lastly, the closing ceremony, the time to commit to take action and help lead the fight for a world free from cancer. It’s a time to celebrate what we’ve accomplished together and a time to unify for the work that needs to be done moving forward.

September 21st. 6pm – 12am

We work together with the Lupus Foundation of America

Research is the key to solving the Lupus mystery and ending its brutal impact. Years of disappointing results in lupus drug development suggest that a different approach is needed. Smarter research will generate faster progress. The association challenges what isn’t working and funds and supports research that is most hopeful to uncover the causes of lupus, understand its progression, and accelerate the search for cures.

At CardioFlex Therapy outpatient clinic in Davie, we see the symptoms of Lupus first hand, physical therapists can play an important role for patients with SLE during and between exacerbations. The patient’s need for physical therapy will vary greatly depending on the systems involved. We can educate patients on appropriate energy conservation techniques and the best ways to protect joints that are susceptible to damage.

So join CardioFlex physical and occupational therapists in this great cause on Thursday, May 10th for the 5th annual Lupus Awareness Night at Marlins Park. The Miami Marlins are excited to team up with the Lupus Foundation of America, Florida Chapter this year!  A portion of the ticket proceeds purchased online will benefit the Lupus Foundation of America Florida Chapter. Purchase your tickets and watch the Miami Marlins strike out lupus against the Atlanta Braves!

Bad Santa Bus Loop

CardioFlex is proud to support the Bad Santa Bus Loop benefiting many local charities including the Jessica June Children’s Cancer Foundation. This event takes place on December 15, 2017 in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The Bus Loop continues to spread fun throughout South Florida! The Bus Loop is serving our local community by raising funds for the designated charities in their respective cities while giving the area’s young professionals a Bus Loop experience of a lifetime!

All proceeds directly benefit the charities. Thanks to the efforts of the volunteers, the Bus Loops continue to operate throughout South Florida. If you have not yet tried the Bus Loop, try it! You’ll get hooked!  

The Jessica June Children’s Cancer Foundation provides financial assistance for underprivileged children fighting cancer. As advocates, the Foundation helps raise additional funds through media partnerships to ensure ill children maintain access to basic human necessities during times of crisis.   Often these children and their families fall into the Federal Poverty Level which qualifies them to receive government assistance such as Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income; however, there remains a large gap for financial need.  A child diagnosed with cancer requires a full time caregiver in order to increase his/her chances for survival.  Children can’t go back to school for a long period of time because of the intense treatment, and the number of days spent in the hospital.  Families under these circumstances often lose income because one parent usually resigns from work.  For a single parent the only source of income is often lost. As a result, the Foundation is dedicated to providing temporary financial relief to help families pay for everyday needs such as medical, utility, rent, mortgage, car, and groceries.  This direct and tangible assistance for access to basic necessities becomes vital to the survival of these children while they receive cancer treatment. CardioFlex offers specific cancer rehab treatments, visit our Services page for detailed information on how we can help you.
