Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity. Hippocrates
If you’re like me, cancer treatments and surgeries left you afraid to move your body, feeling out of control and angry. I needed to heal, but had no idea how to rebuild my body and my confidence.
MovingOn’s founder, Lockey Maisonneuve, is a breast cancer survivor, certified personal trainer and cancer exercise specialist. You can read the interview I did with her here (that’s Lockey in green.) MovingOn (and Lockey, who is now a dear friend) are true gifts of my cancer and I wholeheartedly endorse her program. (I’m a two-time graduate.)
- Tightness in the chest area
- Weakness in the back and neck area
- Discomfort in the shoulders
- Weakness
- Fatigue
- Muscle and joint pain
In the video Lockey demonstrates gentle, rehabilitative exercises designed to open up the chest area, strengthen back muscles and correct posture. These exercises can be performed in a sitting position, lying down, at home or at work.

Also, it’s very important to “CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE STARTING ANY NEW ACTIVITY OR EXERCISE PROGRAM.” (I really mean it! I’m not a doctor and am not qualified to give medical advice. You must get an okay from your doctor before starting an exercise program, especially after cancer treatments.)

Young Breast Cancer Survivor
thanks! I’m a young breast cancer survivor diagnosed at age 31 – 4 years ago. I was determined to try to stay in shape. It was hard, but I ran a half marathon about a year after chemo.
