Head and Neck Cancer Exercises for the Jaw, Neck, and Shoulder

[@shellieduenas9736]

Thank you very much! This is very helpful. You are very thorough, the doctors don’t give specific exercises and don’t always prescribe PT following surgery and radiation. I have watched many of your YT videos for exercises for head and neck cancer on lymphatic drainage, and incision care, which was a life changer. I can’t thank you enough!

I'm so incredibly happy to hear this is helpful. Thank you for the kind feedback 😊

I am looking forward to the video of the tongue exercises. That will be helpful for me as I had a partial glossectomy with reconstruction.

Is there a video on what to do for the lymphedema in my neck and jaw area... I had a thyroidectomy and a right side radical neck dissection... And I will soon have rai treatment... Is there any way to get the fluid to go away? I have tried massage and pushing it down to other lymph nodes but I just don't seem to ever get the fluid to move out...

Thank You for the very informative video on these excercise. I had a thyroidectomy in November 2021 & RAI in March of this year. I still feel tightness when I turn my neck to the sides. No exercise was explained in detail for stretching. These excercises will be a great benefit.

This is so helpful. My husband has finished tongue cancer treatment and was just prescribed physical therapy. The wait is long to get seen, so this is such a great place to start. Thank you for providing this information.

Thank you so much for doing this and God bless you - my husband is still have neck stiffness, pain and can't sing the way he would normally because of the straining and tightening that happens in his throat when he goes for a note. All of this I believe is fixable, and your videos will be assests...I'm so sorry to see anyone rudely bot-ing you and just wanted to acknowledge that. Prayers you and yours have an incredibly blessed holiday season and new year. And same prayers to anyone reading this as well, cancer sucks - and our family's praying for you to have a true healing, complete support and utter peace. 🙏

Hello! I went into neck surgery to remove some malignant lymph nodes, I feel my neck and ear numb, do you know some tips you can share with me for recovering sensitivity? Thank you so much!

Thank you very much for great information. My mouth is not opening after head and neck surgery and radiation. Radiation completed 10 days ago. Now I am taking food through tube. Doctors also put a patch from my arm in my mouth and removed some teeth's also. Kindly guide to open my mouth soon. Thanks & Regards

[@mllecritter8261]

Hi! Thank you -- so helpful! In general, how many days post-op should I start doing these exercises? I had submandibular gland and its benign tumor removed

[@msteacup2337]

I cant seem to find the second part to this video. I need to work on my tongue

[@amandaschmidt1107]

Hi there! What do you think about the removal of 20-30 lymph nodes on the right side with tonsil cancer tonsillectomy? I’m now so worried my dad’s lymphatic system is going to be totally screwed up!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@kevincharles7675]

Is there a video about Lymphedema? I'm in month 7 of recovery (head-neck, hpv-tonsil) and now just really getting hammered with what I think is Lymphedema of the remaining/treated lymph node. Any direction to another resource for help would be much appreciated.

[@CancerRehabPT]

I have a whole playlist of videos for head and neck lymphedema, here: I hope it helps! kzbin.info/aero/PLEMlEDKDlobk2haYZdx12k4IA67ytCdyJ&si=Be0h07IgB-WL5-0T
