Thank you! I appreciate these, they make me feel normal. The surgical areas are always tight and tender to sore and sometimes sharp phantom pains. My doctors don't really understand bc they've never experienced it,, thankfully. These will help. 🙏🏽

[@CancerRehabPT]

@@aimeerice4687 I’m sorry you’re dealing with those pains and soreness. You’re correct, a lot of individuals don’t understand how these side effects can linger on over time, too. And how common they are! Sending you my very best! 💕

[@PennyinVA]

Unbelievable! Thank you!!!! This was so helpful to me. I was hesitant but wow. It felt incredible- it feels wonderful to stretch all of that out❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😘💕

[@CancerRehabPT]

@@PennyinVA amazing!!! Thank you for sharing this! 🙂

[@margerymullins7806]

Thank you so much! I am 57 and had a single mastectomy a few weeks ago. These exercises are really helping me slowly get move to back, but also with my mental health. You are very gentle and caring! 🙏🏼

[@CancerRehabPT]

@@margerymullins7806 thank you for the kind words! I’m SO happy they are helpful 😊

[@mihaelaignatescu6349]

Very useful! I believe, doctors don't speak or know to recommend this kind of exercise!

[@dianaflores324]

Kelly This helped me today! After lymph nodes removal (9 of them) I’m experiencing some numbness under the arm pit and tightness at the end of my day. Thanks for another great video!

[@CancerRehabPT]

@@dianaflores324 I’m so so happy to hear this! 🙂

[@rabeakhatun6905]

After my surgery, my surgeon recommended some exercises. But you are showing some new moves that are helpful.

[@MagretPhilip-James]

This is great. I wish I came across this immediately after surgery but I know it's still not late to fix things.

[@CancerRehabPT]

@@MagretPhilip-James it’s not too late! You’re very right 🙂

[@m.saeidi]

Thank you kelly! I workout with you every day for 10 min to start my day!❤🎉

[@CancerRehabPT]

Ahh I love that!! Thanks for being here! 😊

[@mamavanaedan]

I've recovered pretty well from my lumpectomy so the stretching went, luckily for me, pretty easy. But I'm super weak from chemo so this felt like a hard workout for my arms. I feel so weak I hate it. Thank you for this video. I think I will do it daily until it becomes easier on my arms. This is perfect for me to ease back into things. I also want to say thank you for taking your time in each move and allowing us to switch positions without feeling rushed. It's those things that make for excellent videos. Well done!

[@KS-op5hb]

hope you are feeling better now. After Chemo, I eased in w/ low impact YT video too and workouts on a seated bike.

[@annemarieriley1138]

Love these exercises. Really helped my lymphoedema. Thank you

[@meraaiki6129]

Thank you so, so much!!! Did it just now & I already feel better❤

[@KS-op5hb]

as an FYI I was able to do these stretches until about radiation session 20, then I had to take a break as my skin was too sensitive . I 've been able to start again just 10 days past my last session . I had 30 in total. 25 full chest, 5 boost. Hope this encourages someone. It truly helps!!

[@m.saeidi]

Appreciate it a lot, hope the best for you! ❤🎉

[@maryrose6302]

Another great video. I feel like I need to make an appointment with you so you get paid for all this great advice. Thanks again for all your help. Mary R

[@clairewyness5261]

Thankyou for your helpful exercise recommendations. When are you recommending to do do these exercises? Ie Post surgery? Pre surgery? Post radiation? How many days/weeks post surgery? Not sure about realistic time lines thanks

[@elanzaalberts9605]

Thank you so much for all your videos! ❤ They help me so much. I'm not sure where I would've been without them but thanks to you I feel my new normal is bearable.

[@Takamine65]

Thank you so much!

[@KS-op5hb]

Thank you. I plan on doing these each morning before my radiations sessions as long as i am able.

[@annaloph]

Thank you Ma'am 🙏💖

3 months post mastectomy and 2 weeks post radiation. Feeling very tight. Well this video is a miracle. I can’t believe how high I could reach on the wall when I tried after! Amazing.

[@simleewong9187]

Thanks!

[@simleewong9187]

Thank you Rehab PT for these helpful exercises! Just need to know, is yoga safe for Patient recovery patients?

[@CancerRehabPT]

Thank you so much for the generous support! Generally, yes, but only if cleared by your doctor first 🙂

[@maaikek8593]

After chemo from breast cancer, when can one recieve manual lymphatic drainage therapy?

[@ana-ruxandrailiescu633]

How soon after breast cancer?

[@myriam2854]

Any advice on how to do the one where we have to open the arm towards the wall ? I tried but just can’t do it (it’s been a month since I got my mastectomy).

[@hellotheree565]

Hello how to do this exercise if you can't lift your arm. After surgery it hurts to lift the arms

[@chasingautumn1]

This looks amazing, but I was wondering.... how soon is it safe to do these after a double mastectomy? I know my dr has said I should do my arm/chest stretches the next day, is this a similar timeline?

[@adrianag9046]

Great video. Thanks for all you do

[@CancerRehabPT]

You’re so welcome!
