THIS is what I've looking for. I'm 4 weeks post op and my surgeon tells me to move my arms but I had no idea of what to do to reduce the tight sensations (specially on the right side). Thank you!

I’m a month post op and still struggling to get my arms past my face - this is genuinely so helpful and so well explained!!!!!

4 hours post-op. thank you for this! very helpful, my dude!

Cool, I just lost my boobs to cancer. I have been trying to come up with new stretches for my chest and shoulders. Thanks for the tips

these are great stretches! but if you are only a week or two post op, be very careful with pushing your self too much too fast. (other than popping a stitch obviously) stretch marks can be a big risk. it’s not something i’ve seen many people talk about, but my surgeon said that was one of the main reason they wanted very limited movement for the first two weeks. especially if your skin is really tight or you are prone to stretch marks (it just depends on your skin). so just keep that in mind and talk to your surgeon first before doing anything like this!!

Thanks! This is super helpful I didn’t get much guidance from my doctor, even after asking, but was able to send their office this video, and get the okay to do these as long as I didn’t push too hard. It has helped a lot.

thanks for sharing! I'm a couple of weeks post-op, hoping these will make it easier to get back to regular exercise in a couple more weeks!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for making this. I’m 2.5 weeks post op and starting slow!

I wish I would’ve saw this sooner 🤦‍♂️ I’m 6 weeks today and don’t have a ton of mobility still, everything is pretty tight, thanks for the video !! I’m starting these today ! ☺️

I just watched a video from Dr. Mosser, where he says not to put elbows above the shoulder for the first 6 months, because it will stretch the scars. Most of these stretches involve doing that. So, I'm going to talk with my surgeon about this, like you said, because that's confusing.

Not putting your elbows above your shoulders for 6 months could be interesting 😂Ultimately you have to do what your surgeon says but, even me who has no medical qualifications what so ever, would have to say that's only going to end up with having very tight shoulders. Lifting weight above shoulder height yeah maybe, but bodyweight? Nahh.

I’m 2 weeks post-op this was extremely helpful. Thank you!

Thanks for this! I’m 7 weeks post-op and have a lot of fluid still on my one side. Did you find that working out helped get rid of it? How long until yours went away?

You may have to ask the surgeon just in case, but Im week 2 post op and from day one Ive worn their surgical binder. Yesterday at my appointment she mentioned it helps to reduce swelling and helps, you had a large chest like myself, the chest to reattach itself to the wall. Im to wear it for 3 more weeks day time only and off a night. I personally am wear it semi snug. Im asthmatic so I had to loosen it just enough to get compression but not so much i cant take deep breaths. Again ask your surgeon for the best idea. Hope this helps and enjoy the relief.

When would you recommend starting these? I'm nearly 2 weeks post op.

Check with your surgeon, they all have completely different guidelines :) Mine had me doing these after 24 hours, some make you wait 6 weeks.

@@coach_sambarnes hmm yes, my surgeon has been quite vague when I've asked about post surgery exercise. I'm free to move my arms however I like, just not to loadbear above my head. but I've no idea if that means "do what your body feels comfortable doing" or "push yourself a little"
