Cancer related fatigued may make it very difficult to exercise. This video demonstrates gentle stretches that can be done from your bed. Research concludes that physical activity during treatment can reduce fatigue and is safe during chemotherapy.

Stretching after cancer surgery and treatment should be performed every day, after receiving medical clearance. Commit to stretching regularly so that you gradually improve your posture, range of motion, and flexibility. It will help you manage the stress and anxiety of the disease.
All movements should be done slowly and with great concentration. Try to reach the maximum pain-free range of motion possible for you. Do the stretches slowly and allow the tissue to lengthen. Hold the stretch until you feel a little tension, but not to the point of pain. The goals are to restore joint mobility and break down residual scar tissue.
