Cancer rehabilitation
Our cancer rehabilitation specialists are here to support you after a cancer diagnosis or cancer treatment. Let us help decrease your pain, improve mobility and function, and alleviate your side effects.
Why choose Sutter?
Feel better with help from our cancer rehabilitation teams. Our physical and occupational therapists, lymphedema specialists and massage therapists support you through all phases of cancer treatment and recovery. They’ll help you improve your strength, balance, daily activities, mobility, thinking and communication skills. Your loved ones will also receive support and education so they can be an important part of your recovery.
Our inpatient rehabilitation teams’ primary goal is to enable you to return home or to a homelike setting. We’re proud that Sutter Rehabilitation Institute’s return-to-the-community rate is 88%, which is 10% higher than the national benchmark.
