For 20 years, our sanatorium has been supporting foundations for mastectomy patients and since 2010 we have been providing therapeutic programs to women who have undergone breast surgery under a disability-prevention scheme operated by the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS). We have specialist treatment facilities adapted to offer rehabilitation of patients after breast cancer surgery.
The comprehensive treatment of such patients involves medical, psychological and social rehabilitation. Recovery is supervised by experienced and highly-qualified specialists. Our physiotherapists, psychologists, doctors and nurses effectively implement rehabilitation programmes, teach post-mastectomy patients the essential self-massage and other beneficial health-promoting practices.
The objective of rehabilitation of mastectomy patients is to maintain post-operative therapies and actively support the patients’ return to professional and family life.
When performed correctly, therapeutic exercises result in the elimination of swelling, improvement of the restricted shoulder joint movement on the side of the operated breast, correction of the affected body posture, enhancement of blood and fluid circulation in the limb and the area of the surgical procedure.
During the rehabilitation stays our personnel also takes care of the mental wellbeing of the post-mastectomy patients. We make efforts to encourage the patients to accept their situation, regain mental stability and the previous quality of life to the greatest possible extent.
