Strength After Breast Cancer Program for Women After Treatment

This study is exploring a group exercise program called "Strength After Breast Cancer" for women who have completed primary treatment for Stage I-III breast cancer. The goal is to see if this program, which includes an individual physical therapy evaluation and four group exercise sessions led by a licensed physical therapist, can be successfully offered in an outpatient physical therapy clinic. Researchers want to understand if the program is practical for participants and what challenges or helpful factors exist in delivering it in a clinic setting. The main measures of success for this study are how many people are screened, how many are eligible, and how many enroll. The study is currently recruiting up to 40 women.
