Hi I just wondered if anyone has any information about doing yoga with Picc Line and can anybody recommend any free online tutorials. Many thanks in advance X
Hi Amanda67. No experience of yoga, but I had a PICC line in for several months for my own cancer and did pretty much everything as normal. Anything strenuous is not recommended, but I am sure your nurses would be able to advise. Best wishes.
Hi Amanda67, l have no experience of yoga with a PICC in-line, however l am doing a Chemo Recovery Pilates Course. My instructor who has dealt with cases similar to yours informs me that pretty much anything goes AS LONG AS you are able to protect the site, i.e. not lying on it or stretching it. I am doing pilates after 8 chemo cycles. Hard going but feeling the benefit. Especially in the mind when you achieve a movement that you didn't think you could. Anyway good luck and keep exercising. Best regards Adrian
Thank you so much for your reply, I really want to have the confidence to go back to yoga after many years of not doing yoga. I wish you well with your recovery. Thank you
