🌈 Gender‑Affirming Physical Therapy in Oakland, CA

Gender‑affirming healing is deeply personal. It’s physical, emotional, social, and embodied. At Rooted Physical Therapy Services in Oakland, CA, we provide specialized physical therapy for people preparing for or recovering from top surgery, chest reconstruction, and other gender‑affirming procedures, as well as individuals with a breast cancer diagnosis recovering from mastectomy and lumpectomy. Our care is collaborative, consent‑driven, and grounded in the belief that your body deserves to be met with respect, curiosity, and affirmation.

Healing after chest surgery can bring relief, vulnerability, uncertainty, and hope — often all at once. We hold space for the full spectrum of your experience. We support you in rebuilding mobility, comfort, and strength while honoring the emotional and social layers of transition and recovery.
