Exercises For People Living With Bone Metastases
Studies show that exercise is safe for people with bone metastases. Research also shows that exercise can improve sexual health and offer many other benefits for women diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer.
In this video, Sami Mansfield, a certified cancer trainer and founder of Cancer Wellness for Life, demonstrates a workout specifically for people with bone metastases. These exercises can help you build strength and endurance, and Mansfield shows how each movement can be modified — so they’re manageable even if you’re not feeling your best.

@moderators My DH and I were always very active, since our childhood, during our early years together, and even after my original breast cancer dx. Hiking, running, yoga, Pilates, aerobics, kickboxing, dancing, weight-training, you name it… We did it all!
Then my bone MBC hit our lives like a ton of bricks, literally holding us down -physically *and* emotionally- from everything we enjoyed doing together. This video has brought me hope, and we're SO grateful you shared it. 🙏🏼
One question/request: is it available on another platform, like YouTube? I have researched both the creator and her website, but can't seem to find this specific video (or any other on this specific topic, unfortunately!) anywhere.
YouTube is my favorite platform, because I can open the app on my large flat screen TV in my living room, which is the *only* space in our tiny little cabin where I can exercise (and where all my workout supplies live.)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you again! 🙏🏼 😊
