Myofascial therapy is an effective physical therapy modality to decrease pain intensity at the arm in breast cancer survivors at three months, but no other benefits at that time were found. There were no long-term effects at 12 months either.

Myofascial therapy has no added beneficial effect as standard physical therapy modality in the postoperative stage.

At long term, especially pain and central sensitisation mechanisms contribute to upper limb function in breast cancer survivors.
