Massage after mastectomy

Maria Natera, a massage therapist, shows the location of muscles that can get tight after mastectomy.

Tight muscles can cause pain at the back of the shoulder and neck; it is worth understanding that the front muscles and scar may need attention. The sensation of pain and tightness may be less in the chest area but needs to be addressed.

Maria's muscle drawings on the skin are fascinating: Youtube channel
