Shoulder and posture training for lymphedema after breast cancer
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study tests whether a combination of shoulder blade stabilization exercises and posture training can help reduce arm swelling and improve function in women with lymphedema after breast cancer surgery. It may offer a gentle, non-invasive way to manage your symptoms.
