Spire South Bank Sports & Physiotherapy Clinic

Common concerns following surgery can include discomfort, swelling and tightness of the breast. You may be unsure as to how active you can be and at what stage it is safe to return to normal activities or exercise.

We can provide a thorough assessment and treatment programme tailored to your individual needs.

The initial hour long assessment will include an examination, discussion and treatment.

Your treatment will consist of soft tissue massage and pilates based exercises. A home an exercise programme may be suggested and exercise booklets provided.

Further sessions are usually for 30 minutes but are very much tailored to your needs.

We work closely with our Cosmetic Surgeons and Breast Care Nurse Specialists, enabling patients to achieve not only mobility and function, but with an excellent cosmetic finish following surgery.
