Breast Surgery recovery

"Breast Surgery recovery"

About: Belfast City Hospital / Breast Surgery Oncology / Physical Activity Classes

(as a service user),

I had breast surgery in October 23, following my 6 weeks healing I took part in Joe's circuit classes for 12 weeks. I found these really good and helped me back to full recovery. I was very active before surgery, with Joe's help I managed to build up my strength gradually and now feel able to continue with my pre-surgery activities including swimming and rowing. I also continue to do weights following the circuits class which helps protect me from injury and protects my bones.

Hi sculptoryc74

Thank you so much for taking the time to voice your thoughts on the service provided by our physical activity coach. It was lovely to hear that you enjoyed the circuit classes and that they helped in your recovery. It is great that you are now able to get back to swimming and rowing. Continue to keep active – it’s good for the body and the mind! I will make sure to let Joe know about your lovely feedback.

Kind Regards
