Breast cancer ranks highest for the number of deaths in women aged 20-54 years. Breast cancer surgery significantly affects the locomotor system. Changes in the locomotor system occur in the area of the upper limb girdle, cervical and thoracic spine, and ribs. Physiotherapy offers a wide choice of physiotherapeutic methods and concepts which can be used successfully in women after breast surgery in both the preoperative and postoperative period as well as during convalescence.
