Core Strength Exercises for Cancer and Lymphedema #Shorts

Core strength can be affected by cancer treatment, like after surgery for breast reconstruction or gynecologic cancer. It can also become weak during and after chemotherapy, which can negatively affect balance and fatigue with moving around or exercising. 👣

Core exercises are also crucial for the lymphatic system and play a significant role in managing or reducing lymphedema because of the high number of lymph nodes in the core. 🤸🏽‍♀️

Here are a few of my go-to, simple core exercises that can take less than 5 minutes. I like to start with 10-20 repetitions. Complete 2-3 sets, and the goal for strength training is two times a week at a minimum. 💪🏼

Always make sure to be in the correct “pelvic tilt” and avoid arching into your back. This proper position will help engage the core gently and protect the low back and spine from injury.👩🏼‍⚕️

There is no wrong answer for core exercises done safely with the correct form❣️
