After my second breast cancer diagnosis in 2022, I required multiple surgeries and radiation. Following my treatment, I was unable to use my entire left arm or hand. I had zero grip strength and could not lift my arm.
After recovering from my radiation and surgeries, my pain level increased, and I saw zero improvement in mobility. Thankfully, Dr. Mark Migliori referred me to Renata Braudy with TCO’s Breast Health program.
I started physical therapy with Renata in 2023 and with her incredible breadth of knowledge around various manual manipulation techniques and targeted exercises, I began to see improvements almost immediately.
Rather than assuming my pain was stereotypical lymphedema from surgery and radiation (and possibly something I would have to just live with), she figured out the root cause started at my neck. Her discovery of this led to targeted therapy that provided me with both pain relief and increased mobility.
Renata’s compassion, empathy, and encouragement are unparalleled. In addition to helping me regain most of my physical abilities, I am forever grateful for the improvement in my emotional well-being. I can say without a doubt that Renata saved my life.”
