This is part 3 of five in our Lymphoedema Awareness - reducing your risk series. The first two parts contain information about what lymphoedema is and why exercise is important. We recommend you watch these first.
In this film you can join Tina to learn how to do a series of exercises safely to reduce your risk of developing lymphoedema.You will then be able to join the class in part 4.

This lymphoedema exercise video is provided for general information only and should not be treated as a substitute for professional supervision or advice. If you have any concerns, please speak to a healthcare professional.

You should not attempt these exercises in the first six weeks post breast cancer surgery. This video may not be suitable if you have problems with your scar healing, worsening pain, or a seroma; in these cases, please speak to your medical team, breast cancer nurse, or physiotherapist before your start. Some pulling or stretching during exercises is normal, but only go as far as you comfortably can and use the described modifications to avoid getting any pain.
