SHOULDER POSITIONING FOR RADIATION AFTER BREAST CANCER | Shoulder issues after Breast Surgery

If Radiation is part of your Breast Cancer Treatment then this is a video worth watching!

Particularly if you're going straight from Breast Surgery to Radiation, without Chemotherapy in between.

In this video I show you the position your shoulder needs to achieve to get through Radiation comfortably.

This is another reason why early referral to a Physiotherapist or Physical Therapist is vital for managing side effects of Breast Cancer Treatment.

There are many reasons reduced range of motion at the shoulder can occur following Breast Cancer Surgery, including pain, stiffness, seromas, haematomas, protection, cording and pre-existing shoulder issues.

Please pass this video onto your Medical Professionals so we can increase awareness for early identification of patients at risk of shoulder issues going into Radiation.
