Mastectomy Post-Op Exercise Class Start Date: Oct. 09, 2012 Time: 11:00 AM

Getting back to 100 percent after a mastectomy can seem like a difficult task. The experts from Carle Therapy Services are here to help give you the tools you need to make a full recovery and get back to feeling like your old self. This class will help you in your recovery by: - Teaching simple exercises that will increase early mobility and improve function after surgery. - On-site demonstration of all exercises and handouts for at-home use. - Educating post-op mastectomy patients on techniques to avoid lymphedema. - Providing a group setting for the recovery process. Classes are held monthly on the second Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. or the fourth Wednesday from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the third floor conference room of Mills Breast Cancer Institute. Patients are encouraged to attend one class prior to surgery and one class post-surgery. Classes are open to both Carle and non-Carle patients.
