Nordic Walking | Breast Cancer Haven

Nordic Walking is a brilliant exercise form based on cross-country skiing. It’s an outdoor activity that will work your whole body without impacting too much on your back, knees, and ankles. You will be able to chat with fellow walkers and at the same time get fitter and stronger.

This nordic walking video with Carolyn Garritt 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.
