The 18-Week Return-To-Function Timeline

A clear, compassionate roadmap for breast and chest surgery recovery

“Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live in.” — Jim Rohn

The 18-Week Return-To-Function Timeline is a thoughtfully designed guide that walks you through the stages of recovery following breast or chest surgery, from pre-surgery preparation through the first four months of healing.

This timeline blends evidence-informed guidance with whole-person care, helping you understand what to focus on, when, so recovery feels more manageable, supported, and empowering.


What This Timeline Supports

  • Preparing your body, home, and nervous system before surgery
  • Understanding what rest, movement, and support look like in the early weeks
  • Gradually restoring mobility, posture, and daily function
  • Knowing when self-massage, stretching, and strengthening are appropriate
  • Feeling more informed and confident as your body heals

This resource helps recovery feel like something you are actively participating in, not something that is simply happening to you.

 


What You’ll Receive

  • A printable 18-week recovery timeline
  • Clear guidance for short, middle, and longer healing surgeries
  • Week-by-week focus areas from pre-op through 16+ weeks post-op
  • Support for daily activities, movement, rest, and self-care
  • A practical companion to MG at Home Patient Programs

 


Who This Is For

This resource is ideal for:

  • Individuals preparing for or recovering from breast or chest surgery
  • Patients who want clarity around recovery stages
  • Therapists supporting clients through post-surgical healing
  • Anyone who wants a structured, compassionate recovery roadmap

No prior MG training is required.
