Interestingly enough, my LE PT just told me this week to lie flat on the bed and stretch my arms out as far as I can to the 10 & 2 positions. Apparently helps to keeo the radiation rebound effect from pulling in. I'd forgotten about this breather but will add that too. Thanks Hugz

I do this with a half foam roller. Mam what a stretch!

bumping for all to see

bumping for jo and newbies

Very timely reminder. My hand swelled. It's done that before. Not sure exactly what I did this time to aggregate it. Can't get into therapist until Monday. Don't have the proper bandage and I'm afraid my glove and sleeve made it worse. Thank you!

Jo - I know nothing about TaiChi either, but this is very much like an exercise we do in my Chair Yoga class. We don't make a fist. The hands stay open. The stretch is along the arms outward - tighten to reach as far as you can. Our teacher describes it kind of like trying to squeeze a tennis ball between your shoulder blades. Maybe someone else will have a better answer.
Unfortunately I've never done Lebeds so I can't answer that question.
I'm guessing you're talking about your obliques - around to the side from your tummy? Sounds to me like this opening would certainly provide movement in that area.
