Post-radiation tissue fibrosis and congestion occur when radiation therapy causes scarring, stiffness, and reduced blood/lymph circulation in the treated area. This can lead to pain, swelling, limited mobility, and long-term discomfort. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role with scar mobilization, myofascial release, stretching, manual lymph drainage, posture correction, and tailored exercise. Early rehab improves mobility, reduces congestion, and restores function.
Causes:
- Radiation-induced tissue damage
- Fibrosis and scarring in skin, muscles, or fascia
- Reduced lymphatic and blood circulation
- Recurrent infections or delayed healing
- Poor posture and immobility after treatment
Symptoms:
- Hardening or tightness of tissues
- Swelling or congestion in treated area
- Pain and tenderness
- Reduced range of motion
- Skin sensitivity or thickening
- Functional limitations in daily activities
Relieve stiffness, swelling, and discomfort with specialized post-radiation rehab.
