Breast Cancer Rehab

Rehab & recovery tools to help you THRIVE after breast cancer

Hi, I’m Erica Ainsworth — a breast cancer thriver and chiropractor helping women rebuild strength, confidence, and function after treatment.

After being diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer at 43, I had a double mastectomy, radiation, and breast reconstruction. Like many survivors, I received little guidance on rehab, recovery, and returning to exercise.

Using my rehab background as a chiropractor, I used targeted movement and strength training to support my recovery through treatment and into survivorship — while navigating side effects and reconstruction and implants under the chest muscle.

On this channel, I share the guidance I wish I had:

✔️ what to expect after surgery, radiation, & reconstruction

✔️ managing side effects like cording, radiation fibrosis, lymphedema, and pain

✔️ safe strength training after breast cancer

I created Thriver Strength, a 12-week strength program for breast cancer survivors.
