An introduction to Haley Rehab - Helping those diagnosed with cancer, lymphedema and deep vein thrombosis.

The Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation has asked us to share what we think would be helpful information in regards to physiotherapy for cancer survivors. This week I will provide a brief description of the services provided at Haley Rehab, introduce you to the lymphatic system and lymphedema, teach you how you can reduce your risks of developing lymphedema, and also educate you on acupressure and trigger point therapy. We hope that this information serves you well, and that it will answer questions you may have regarding physiotherapy care prior to, during and post cancer treatment.

Haley Rehab is a physiotherapy clinic in Ottawa, dedicated to helping those who are diagnosed with cancer, lymphedema and deep vein thrombosis.

Whether you have just been diagnosed, or are looking for complementary care during or after medical treatment, we are partners in helping you to continue doing what you love regardless of your medical history. Our client treatment philosophy is based on education, compassion, and empowerment.

Our services include:

• Manual Lymphatic Drainage to decrease swelling

• Acupuncture

• Personal fitness training

• Myofascial Release

• Compression

• Bandaging

• Posture Education etc.

Our team is comprised of five Physiotherapists and a Physiotherapist Assistant, all of whom are Certified Lymphedema Therapists. We also work with a Registered Massage Therapist, and a Kinesiologist.

If you are interested in booking an assessment with one of our physiotherapists, or have any questions, please call our Office Manager, Cindy.

  2. Lakewood oh city has also been affected by diseases. These occur very frequently and sometimes affect massive numbers of people. Such outbreaks can freeze the entire city as people are afraid of getting infected. Healthcare facilities have been put in place to cater for this problem. This however does not work for all conditions as there are those without treatment such as cancer. suvitas hyderabad
