Recovering from breast cancer surgery? You might be surprised to learn that it isn't just the surgical side that needs your attention during rehab.A fascinating 2021 prospective observational study looked closely at how shoulder function changes in the first few weeks after breast cancer surgery. The findings are a game-changer for how we approach post-op recovery. Here is what the research revealed:Both Arms Are Affected: Range of motion (ROM) and shoulder strength decreased significantly post-surgery—not just on the affected side, but on the unaffected side as well. Strength Takes the Biggest Hit: While range of motion slowly begins to recover over the first few weeks, shoulder strength drops dramatically (losing nearly half its capacity on the affected side) and struggles to bounce back on its own. Surgery Type Doesn't Change the Drop: Whether patients had a mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery, the reduction in shoulder function and strength was notable across the board. What does this mean for your recovery? 💡The biggest takeaway from this study is that physical therapy and rehabilitation shouldn't just focus on the side where the surgery took place. To ensure you regain your full independence and upper body strength, rehabilitation exercises must be implemented in BOTH arms.At V Health and Wellness, we believe in treating the whole body. If you or a loved one is navigating the early phases of breast cancer recovery, don't wait for your strength to return on its own. Comprehensive, bilateral rehab is the key to getting you back to feeling like yourself again.Call us or send a DM today to learn more about our specialized post-op recovery programs! 🌸💪

New research on diet and cancer risk — and it's more nuanced than the headlines suggest.

A study just published in the British Journal of Cancer pooled data from 1.8 million people across 9 cohorts on 3 continents (UK, US, Taiwan, India) followed for a median of 16 years — the largest analysis to date on vegetarian/vegan diets and cancer risk.

The findings aren't a simple "plant-based = better" story:

🔹 Vegetarians had lower risk of breast, prostate, kidney, and pancreatic cancer, and multiple myeloma
🔹 Pescatarians had lower risk of colorectal, breast, and kidney cancer
🔹 But vegetarians also showed nearly double the risk of a specific esophageal cancer subtype
🔹 And vegans showed a higher risk of colorectal cancer — a genuinely surprising result given decades of evidence linking red/processed meat to colon cancer

The researchers' takeaway: what matters isn't just cutting out meat — it's what you replace it with, and whether nutrient gaps (B12, vitamin D, iron, zinc, omega-3s) are being addressed along the way.

This is exactly why we take a whole-person approach at V Health and Wellness. Diet, movement, and recovery aren't one-size-fits-all — especially for people navigating cancer survivorship, where nutritional status and rehab needs are deeply individual. Good intentions around "eating healthy" don't always translate to good outcomes without the right guidance.
