Exercises

After breast cancer surgery your arm(s), back and neck may have reduced mobility.  Your healthcare provider can provide you with information on exercises to restore your range of motion, reduce swelling and prevent a condition known as “frozen shoulder.”  

Check with your healthcare provider about when to begin post-surgery exercise. 

The recommended exercises may start with gentle and slow stretching, shoulder rotations, daily finger wall climbing and then progress to beginning Pilates or Yoga as your comfort increases.

Continue with gentle exercises and stretching to rebuild your range of motion and strength in your arm(s).
