Post radiotherapy excercise

Hi

 

Was anyone told to do some post radiotherapy excercises to the chest area?  I noticed recently that my chest was aching and felt like I had been doing some heavy excercises which was a suprise as i finished radiotherapy at the beginning of october, only today I got something on my Facebook feed which was a video showing how to do post radiotherapy excercise to avoid the sensations I have having.

 

None of the radiographers mentioned doing anything after so I was wondering if anyone else had.

 

Thanks

Hi Jan,
Good question - I thought we were supposed to carry on doing the stretches from op during and after radio? Are there others? I have noticed that if I don’t stretch for a day or 2 it gets a bit tight.
