Starting rehabilitation soon after breast cancer surgery is important

Whether your surgery has involved complete removal of the breast, primary reconstruction or left the breast intact, this film will guide you through a series of exercises designed to help you from Day 1. Follow the programme for the first four weeks after the operation. The exercises form the basis for further training and activity.

The Tørsleff method, with its sequence of exercises performed early on in the course of treatment, is a new form of rehabilitation. With guidance from a physiotherapist you can actively help yourself reduce and prevent impaired functionality that can arise after breast cancer surgery.
 

These exercises will continue to be beneficial even some time after the operation.
