Anyone familiar with finding a massage therapist to treat cording after lumpectomy? How do I search?

I would start with your Breast Surgeon's office or the hospital patient help desk for recommendations. Or, if you google lyphedema, it will show therapists in your area who are trained in that. Both hospitals where I went for treatment had lymphedema departments.
Not sure where you live and I am only familiar with the Philadelphia area of PA.
If you have cording and no lymphedema, your PCP should be able to give you a script for PT which should help.

Hi @laguna,
It sounds like you might need to contact a lymphedema specialist. There's some helpful info here:
We hope this helps!
