Post Treatment Exercise



Share Emailz

I waitedd the recommended 4 to 6 weeks post-surgery, but I never stopped even during chemo and radioation. I slowed down or cut down on time when I felt at my lowest energy point, but overall, I forced myself to do it everyday. Post surgery, I waited for my surgeon thumbs up an I was back on the bycicle, running and walking, whiever felt best at the time.

I also took the time to see a physiotherapist specialising in pre-ops and post-ops assessment to provide me with different exercise to gain my strength back with the most efficiency. Also, strangely, what helped me most was an osteopath after my mastectomy that lossened my pectoral muscles that were really thight following reconstruction and radiotherapy. In a few treatment, he took care of a lot of pain I have in my arms and shoulders. I waitedd the recommended 4 to 6 weeks post-surgery, but I never stopped even during chemo and radioation.
