Mastectomy Prehab Exercises

Sharing my prehab activity for a mastectomy. My surgery is soon, so I though I would share the prep I've been doing . Hope it helps others who are just about to have surgery. Good luck on your journey x

I did these exercises before my 2nd breast surgery and it helped me so much.
Very different to my 1st surgery where I didn't do them....even my surgeon commented on the difference....thank you Kate x

Thanks so much for sharing Kate! These are fabulous exercises and such a positive message about listening to your body while really focusing on flexibility and enjoying the movement prior to surgery. This helps build up muscles and range of movement, so that people know what they''re can work towards in the post-operative rehabilitation period. I look forward to sharing these widely with anyone who is approaching breast surgery! Dr Catherine Zollman, Medical Director, Penny Brohn UK and Bristol GP
