Sabrina Rana Vaishnavi, MPT CLT

I have been a practicing physical therapist since 2003, primarily working in an orthopedic setting. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to refine my skills as a hands-on, manually driven therapist. I believe that manual therapy is not just about technique—it’s about building trust, understanding each patient’s unique needs, and guiding them toward meaningful recovery.

In 2017, my perspective on rehabilitation shifted profoundly when I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer with a BRCA mutation. I underwent chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, and other surgeries, facing firsthand the challenges of post-treatment recovery. During that time, I realized just how little support was available when I needed it most. The physical and emotional toll of treatment was immense, yet guidance on movement, healing, and regaining function was limited.

That experience ignited a passion in me to be part of the solution. I sought to understand the lymphatic system more deeply, recognizing its crucial role in recovery, and became certified in lymphedema therapy in 2023. With additional specialized training, I am dedicated to providing patients with the care and education I once longed for—helping them move forward with confidence, comfort, and a renewed connection to their bodies.

Now, alongside my partner Megan McCarthy, MS OTR/L, CLT, I am proud to be apart of BreastHab—a practice dedicated to filling the gap in rehabilitation services for those recovering from breast surgery, cancer treatments, and other breast rehabilitation related conditions. Together, we are committed to providing expert care, compassionate support, and a path toward healing that prioritizes both function and well-being.
