ReVital Cancer Rehab is a new specialty service provided by therapists at Select Physical Therapy. This type of physical therapy focuses on the current and lasting side effects of cancer treatments.
60-90% of patients with cancer, as well as survivors, have at least 1 impairment that physical therapy can address in order to improve quality of life. Such impairments include joint pain, joint stiffness, fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, difficulty walking, balance concerns, falls (or fear of falling), and inability or difficulty in performing activities of daily living.
Join Amy Sieczkowski, Select Physical Therapy Center Manager at the Norwich Clinic, to learn more on the ways physical therapy can help improve some side effects of cancer treatments.

EBAC Retirees Club is open to all retired EB employees, salaried and hourly, that are members of the EBAC when they retire. Dues are $2.00 per year and are collected by the Retirees Club every January and forwarded to the EBAC.
The Retirees Club meets at 10:00 a.m. on the first Friday of each month at THRive 55+ powered by Groton Senior Center (102 Newtown Road, Groton, CT 06340). Coffee and pastries are provided by the club. The meetings usually last about 30 minutes. The club has a president, secretary and treasurer who are elected annually by the members.
