Breast Cancer Patients:

1. Reduce scaring. If scar is completely healed apply a small amount of lotion to the area and gently rub across the scar applying enough pressure to achieve a low level of discomfort for 5-10 minutes 2-3 times a day.

2. Use your affected arm as normally as possible. Raise your arm up over your head and out to the side of your body. This will help to maintain your range of motion.

3. Sit in an upright posture. Sit with your shoulder blades slightly pinched together and your head placed in line with the tip of your shoulder.

Golf Injury Patients:

Golf Swing
1. Decrease your back swing to 75% of max. This will decrease the loading force placed on the low back during the rotational component of the back swing. Your results will be decreased pain, increased accuracy and longer distance.

2. Slightly shift your hips towards your front stance leg. This mechanical positioning will aid in increasing the amount of internal rotation of the front hip, while decreasing the locking of the low back.

3. Decrease the width of your stance. This modification will decrease the “over the top” chopping movement that typically causes pain in the lead side of the low back.

4. Reduce the rounding of the upper back during your address posture to the ball. This correction will allow for increase mid back extension, increase the proper curve in the low back and provide core stability which will result in greater control throughout the entire movement.
