Targeted therapies that minimize complications, improve mobility, and enhance long-term results.
Our wellness program is designed to support patients beyond surgery. We offer specialized treatments for post-operative muscle pain and tightness, scar management and lymphedema prevention. Techniques such as dry needling and fluid mobilization help improve circulation, reduce discomfort and support your body’s healing process. Every patient undergoing surgery with Dr. King receives tailored wellness treatments as part of their post-operative care plan.
In addition to surgery, breast cancer treatment may involve chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiation. These necessary treatments can cause swelling, skin irritation and/or neuropathy that may be permanent. For those undergoing cancer treatment, we offer wellness protocols that are safe, supportive and designed to minimize these challenges without interfering with your medical care.

Protected nerve health: Early intervention may reduce tingling or numbness, supporting long-term well-being.
This is the use of fine, solid bore needles (no bigger than a hair) directed into areas of inflammation in skin, soft tissue and muscles. The mechanism is not completely understood but dry needling can successfully reduce edema, pain, muscle tightness and inflammation.

After an initial evaluation, your best options will be discussed with you in detail. We have also developed protocols and offer packages specific to those in radiation and chemotherapy treatment.
Book AppointmentPerimenopause and menopause have a range of symptoms from mild to debilitating, severely limiting quality of life for some women. Other valid risks to be considered include dementia, cardiovascular risk and bone health. Recent re-evaluation of data regarding hormone replacement therapy safety has created a buzz and attention is now returning to these treatment options. For women affected by hormone receptor positive breast cancer, newer alternative therapies can provide symptom relief. At Serene, your treatment options will be rooted in science, treating you effectively and safely based on your unique symptoms and personal desires.

It is well known that exercise has a multitude of benefits for women affected by or high risk for breast and other cancers. Serene has created a warm, private space for one-on-one sessions in weight training and Pilates. Each instructor has exceptional training and experience to tailor the workout to the client’s needs.
Pilates was designed to improve overall strength by control of muscles, breathing and improved flexibility. Serene offers private Pilates sessions with focused attention from a qualified instructor, ensuring optimal alignment and technique. Sessions are tailored to address unique fitness levels, injuries and post-operative limitations.

Not only does weight training improve strength, it also improves balance, mobility and range of motion. Private sessions at Serene are tailored to each client’s level of fitness and a plan is developed to improve upon this. Modifications are made to support the client if they are recovering from cancer treatments, including surgery.

No, the Serene studio is open to anyone interested in private, guided lesions with our instructors.
We know that true healing and recovery goes beyond the operating room. Although women are encouraged to improve strength and mobility after surgery, few are given the actual tools and do not implement an exercise program. Barriers may include not knowing how to safely exercise, not knowing how to use workout equipment or even being intimidated by a gym. Serene removes those barriers for your overall recovery and long-term vitality.
All sessions are led by certified instructors experienced in post-surgical and women’s health fitness. Dr. King collaborates closely with the instructors to ensure each plan is medically appropriate.
Timing depends on your procedure and recovery progress. Dr. King or your plastic surgeon will clear you when your body is ready — typically starting with gentle mobility work, then gradually progressing to strengthening exercises.
Each 55-minute session is customized to your body’s needs and goals. You’ll move through guided exercises that focus on posture, core stability, upper-body mobility, and safe strength building.
Yes. We offer both reformer and mat-based Pilates, along with light resistance and functional strength training. Your program will evolve as your body heals and strengthens.
Absolutely. Many patients choose to continue private sessions long-term as part of their wellness routine — focusing on strength, confidence, and graceful movement.
