Renata Braudy, PhD, PT, OCS, CLT

Dr. Renata Braudy is a researcher, physical therapist, lymphedema therapist, and passionate patient advocate with more than 20 years of clinical experience in breast cancer rehabilitation. Her PhD research focused on the effects of surgery and radiation on shoulder function and muscle health, giving her a deep clinical and scientific foundation for the work she does every day.

She has founded two breast cancer rehabilitation programs inside major health systems, treated thousands of breast cancer survivors, and in 2026 launched EMPOWERED Recovery and Wellness, where she works with survivors, healthcare providers, and organizations to raise the standard of care after breast cancer treatment and to help survivors return to the activities they love safely and with confidence.
