Thank you! These exercise videos have aided and supported my efforts to recover from multiple surgeries for the last 2 years. I couldn’t be more grateful!
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. 🙏🏽
@@abc123-t7o 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! 💕
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❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😘💕
@@PennyinVA amazing!!! Thank you for sharing this! 🙂
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!!
Very useful! I believe, doctors don't speak or know to recommend this kind of exercise!

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!
@@dianaflores324 I’m so so happy to hear this! 🙂
After my surgery, my surgeon recommended some exercises. But you are showing some new moves that are helpful.
Thank you kelly! I workout with you every day for 10 min to start my day!❤🎉
Ahh I love that!! Thanks for being here! 😊
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!
hope you are feeling better now. After Chemo, I eased in w/ low impact YT video too and workouts on a seated bike.
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! 🙏🏼
@@margerymullins7806 thank you for the kind words! I’m SO happy they are helpful 😊
Thank you so, so much!!! Did it just now & I already feel better❤
Appreciate it a lot, hope the best for you! ❤🎉
Love these exercises. Really helped my lymphoedema. Thank you
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.
Thank you. I plan on doing these each morning before my radiations sessions as long as i am able.
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
This is great. I wish I came across this immediately after surgery but I know it's still not late to fix things.
@@MagretPhilip-James it’s not too late! You’re very right 🙂
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.
@@sophiervt amazing! I love to hear this!
Thanks!
Thank you Rehab PT for these helpful exercises! Just need to know, is yoga safe for Patient recovery patients?
Thank you so much for the generous support! Generally, yes, but only if cleared by your doctor first 🙂
Sadly I cannot do many of these exercises ! I have severe arthritis affecting my back, hips and knees and one shoulder. 😢
Thank you Ma'am 🙏💖
Thank you so much!
Thank you❤
Thanks you so much❤

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
Thank you that was so helpful
So happy to hear!

Thank you Kelly for this video. I watch and practice several of your exercises and find them to be easy to follow, quick and oh so helpful to my self care regime. I appreciate you so much.
I appreciate the feedback and kind words ☺️
when to start this kind of exercise? after a month of mastectomy?
How soon after breast cancer?
Thank you.
Is swimming appropriate after breast cancer treatment?
When can you start those exercises after surgery
It depends on your doctor: mine told me no exercising , raising arms above my heart for 1 month after surgery
Mine said 20 days
How soon can one start after double mastectomy
After chemo from breast cancer, when can one recieve manual lymphatic drainage therapy?
Hello how to do this exercise if you can't lift your arm. After surgery it hurts to lift the arms
How many times a week should we do these exercises?
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).
Great video. Thanks for all you do
You’re so welcome!
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?
Thanku so much its amazing where i will get ur number
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇦🇷✌🖐💯👍🇦🇷
I needed this due to the tightness after radiation, I could barely sleep on my shoulder 😢😢
