Abstract: Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women worldwide. Mastectomy is the complete removal of breast tissues along with the adjoining lymph nodes which can be unilateral, that is the removal of one breast, then that side will be called as dominant side and the opposite having normal breast is termed as non-dominant side. It results in restricted arm/shoulder mobility which can cause arm/shoulder pain and fibrosis. Majority of patients experience some type of pain and associated impairment around shoulder and scapular region after mastectomy.
