Essentrics breast cancer rehab dvd free download

I went through a personality change becoming reclusive and depressed. During my convalescence I found that only real solace and comfort came to me from talking with fellow cancer survivors. The sharing of their experiences helped me find my way out of my depression and fears. Given that we were both in the health and fitness field, we felt that this was an area where we could contribute.

Not every breast cancer patient is fortunate enough to have a personal physiotherapist visit them after surgery. We made this video to be that personal therapist for other women. She found all the funding, the film crew and worked with physiotherapists and an oncologist to make sure this exercise video happened and was endorsed by the medical community. With the advice from my oncologist and physiotherapist we used Essentrics exercises to create a workout specifically designed for breast cancer survivors.

We developed specific exercises which safely and systematically increased the range of motion of the arm. We have since worked together giving workshops and lectures to increase awareness of both the exercises and the importance of rehabilitation.

In Western societies, one of the most common causes of lymphedema is removal of the breast mastectomy and underarm lymph tissue for breast cancer. One of the primary features of every Essentrics workout is the raising of the arm above the head.

The continuous raising of the arms above the head helps to drain any fluid caught in the arm. An arm hangs from the shoulder downwards, so the fluid cannot escape if the pumping stations are damaged or removed. When the arm is raised above the head the force of gravity helps the fluids to run downwards a drain. Women who have had breast cancer surgery and radiation such as myself, need to raise their arms above their heads every day for the rest of their lives in order to drain any blocked lymph fluid and prevent the possibility of lymphedema.

Essentrics is the only fitness program that focuses on using of the arms above the heads. In my travels, as a Breast Cancer Ambassador, I have met too many women suffering from this terrible condition. I plan on doing an Essentrics workout every day for the rest of my life.
