We’re so excited to introduce our Movement Leader for the Breast Cancer Recovery Summit, Babz Tobin!

Movement is such an important part of breast cancer recovery, and we couldn’t be more excited to have Babz guiding our attendees through a special therapeutic movement session to support mobility, flexibility, and lymphatic health.

Babz is an Occupational Therapist, Certified Lymphedema Therapist, certified yoga teacher, and Reiki master. She is also the founder of Lymph Flow Yoga™, a unique practice designed to support lymphatic health.

Inspired by her mother’s journey as a breast cancer survivor living with lymphedema, Babz created Lymph Flow Yoga™ to help others find greater balance in their lives and lymphatic health.

We can’t wait for you to experience her session!

After breast cancer surgery and radiation, scar tissue, muscle tightness, and changes in activity can affect how your shoulder blades move, contributing to reduced shoulder strength and stability.

Strengthening the muscles surrounding your shoulder blades can help improve shoulder stability, support better movement, and make everyday activities feel easier.

In this video, Sajani, an oncology Physical Therapist, demonstrates 4 exercises that focus on scapular strength and stability:

1️⃣ Shoulder External Rotation: Lie on your side with your elbow bent to 90 degrees and tucked gently against your body. Keeping your elbow close to your side, slowly rotate your forearm upward toward the ceiling without twisting your trunk. Lower back down with control. Repeat 8–10x.

2️⃣ Shoulder Abduction: Lie on your side with your top arm resting along your body. Keeping your elbow straight, slowly lift your arm out to the side and up toward the ceiling, stopping at shoulder height. Slowly lower your arm back down with control. Repeat 8–10x.

3️⃣ Shoulder Horizontal Abduction: Lie on your side with your top arm extended in front of your chest. Keeping your elbow slightly bent, slowly lift your arm upward and open it toward the ceiling, gently bringing your shoulder blade back. Return to the starting position with control. Repeat 8–10x.

4️⃣ Serratus Punch: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Extend your arm toward the ceiling with your hand directly above your shoulder. Keeping your elbow straight, reach your hand toward the ceiling, allowing your shoulder blade to lift slightly off the floor. Slowly lower your shoulder blade back down. Repeat 8–10x.

Changes in shoulder strength and function after breast cancer treatment are not something you simply have to accept.

A Physical or Occupational Therapist specialized in Breast Cancer Rehabilitation can help you rebuild strength, improve movement, and regain confidence in using your arm.

💜 Save these exercises.

💜 Share to help others rebuild strength.

Breast cancer treatment can affect so much more than we often talk about. And for many individuals, the side effects don’t simply disappear when treatment ends.

That’s where breast cancer rehabilitation comes in.

From managing pain, neuropathy, and lymphedema, to restoring movement, strength, and independence, rehabilitation can make a meaningful difference in someone’s recovery and quality of life.

Yet for far too many individuals, this life-changing care remains out of reach.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re incredibly grateful to partner with Lion Brand to help change that.

Throughout October, proceeds from the sale of ALL Lion Brand’s pink yarns will be donated to Well Beyond Breast Cancer, directly supporting our Financial Assistance Program and helping more individuals access the rehabilitation care they deserve.

A heartfelt thank you to Lion Brand for believing in our mission and helping us make recovery care more accessible.

Introducing the Breast Cancer Recovery Summit, a half-day educational event created to help you better understand and manage treatment-related side effects, improve your quality of life, and feel more supported throughout recovery.

📅 Sunday, November 15, 2026
📍 New York City

Breast cancer treatment can affect how you feel, how you move, and how you live your life. Pain, fatigue, tightness, neuropathy, lymphedema, and changes in mobility are just some of the challenges that can affect everyday life, sometimes persisting for months or even years after treatment ends.

Yet too many people are left navigating these side effects with little guidance on how to manage them or where to turn for support.

Our Breast Cancer Recovery Summit was created to help change that.

Join us for a half-day educational event where you can get answers to your questions, learn practical ways to manage treatment-related side effects, and connect with experts, trusted resources, and others who understand.

Whether you’re navigating breast cancer or hereditary risk, supporting someone you love, or working in breast cancer care as a healthcare professional, this event is for you.

We cannot wait to welcome you.

Registration is now open.

💜 Comment “summit” and we’ll send you a direct link to the event page where you can learn more and reserve your spot, or use the link in our bio.

💜 Share this with someone who may find it helpful.

We’ve been working on this for months, and we’re so excited to finally share it with you!

We’ve been working on something BIG over the last few months to better support you through breast cancer treatment and recovery.

There’s no better way to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month than alongside an incredible community at the Sisters Network Annual Summit!

Our founder, Amanda, and WBBC partnering therapist, Patrice, will be here all weekend supporting survivors, previvors, metavivors, and the broader breast cancer community.

Today, they’re offering complimentary one-on-one breast cancer rehabilitation consultations, creating space for attendees to ask questions, talk through treatment-related side effects, and receive individualized guidance for recovery.

And tomorrow, the support continues as Amanda and Patrice take the stage to speak all about Breast Cancer Rehabilitation: why it matters, what it can help with, how to find support, and why everyone affected by breast cancer deserves access to this kind of care.

We’re so grateful to be here, connecting, educating, listening, and helping more people feel supported during and beyond breast cancer.

If you’re attending, please come say hi 💜

New Podcast Episode! 🎉

In this episode, Dr. Deanna Ge**er, a gynecologic oncologist and breast cancer survivor, shares her deeply personal perspective on cancer survivorship, humanistic care, and what it means to understand the emotional and physical realities of cancer from both sides of the experience.

Drawing on her experience as both a physician and a patient, Dr. Ge**er reflects on how her breast cancer diagnosis reshaped the way she cares for others.

From the distress of waiting for answers to the impact of hair loss on identity, she explores experiences that took on profound new meaning when she lived through them herself, and how those lessons now shape her approach to patient care.

She also shares the realities of life after treatment, when support can fade while the pressure to return to “normal” grows. Dr. Ge**er speaks candidly about the challenges of reintegrating into everyday life and the emotional and physical needs that continue beyond treatment.

Listen to episode 7 of the Well Beyond Breast Cancer Podcast today!

🎧 Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.

At Well Beyond Breast Cancer, Breast Cancer Awareness Month is about so much more than pink ribbons.

It’s about the people behind them.

It’s about making sure those affected by breast cancer feel seen, heard, and supported.

It’s about improving access to the care people need, not only during treatment, but throughout recovery and beyond.

It’s about listening to survivors, previvors, and those living with metastatic breast cancer, and turning awareness into meaningful, lasting support.

For us, October is about YOU: your story, your needs, your recovery, and your quality of life.

And while October brings greater attention to breast cancer, our commitment extends far beyond this month.

We will continue working year-round to advance health equity, improve access to breast cancer rehabilitation, and help ensure that more people receive the care and support they deserve.

You are not alone.

We see you. We hear you. And we walk beside you, this month and always.

Beyond the Pink is officially out! 📚🎉

Congratulations to Dr. Eleonora Teplinsky, on the release of her book Beyond the Pink: Navigating Life, Health and Breast Cancer!

Earlier this month, we welcomed Dr. Teplinsky to the Well Beyond Breast Cancer Podcast for a thoughtful conversation about the support people need during and after treatment, and the experiences that inspired her new book.

In the episode, she shares compassionate, practical guidance for navigating life during and after breast cancer treatment, from managing menopausal symptoms and s*xual health concerns to protecting emotional well-being and coping with the uncertainty of recovery.

She also discusses why many of these concerns go unaddressed in oncology care, the role of supportive care, and how to ask for the referrals and resources you need.

Dr. Teplinsky also shares the inspiration behind her book Beyond the Pink, an evidence-based guide to help people take a more proactive role in their health and life after a breast cancer diagnosis.

📚 Get your copy of Beyond the Pink, available now!

The recording of our latest educational webinar is available on our website!

Breast cancer treatment can bring many changes, including menopausal changes that may affect vaginal, vulvar, urinary, and s*xual health.

Often referred to as genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), these changes may include vaginal dryness, burning or irritation, pain with s*x, tissue sensitivity, urinary urgency or frequency, and recurrent urinary tract infections.

These symptoms can significantly affect everyday comfort and quality of life, yet they are often overlooked or left unaddressed.

In this educational webinar, pelvic health physical therapist Kristin Sapienza, PT, DPT, CMLDT explains treatment-induced menopause and GSM and shares practical strategies for managing these changes during and after breast cancer.

This webinar is made possible by VWELL Pelvic Health - Vaginal Trainers, Pelvic Wands + more

VWELL is an intimate and pelvic health brand dedicated to women’s wellness. Developed in collaboration with pelvic health experts and therapists, VWELL offers body-safe, doctor-recommended solutions designed to relieve pelvic floor tension, ease discomfort, and foster confidence.
