Abstract

In spite of increasing the patient's survival rate, the breast cancer surgery can cause not only a pain in the patient's surgical part and a transformation or imbalance of the patient's body and musculi extremitatis superioris but also psychological symptoms such as fear of recurring cancer, declination in self-esteem, depression, anxiety, anger, and stress. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a mind-body intervention program for the breast cancer patients. From the 1st to the 3th session of stability of YOGA in this program, the trigger point stretching of shoulder-arm-neck is peformed with the exercise of being aware of reduced or tense parts and the exercise of breathing. From the 4th to the 8th session, this program is performed with the exercise of being aware of tense parts of the trigger point, and with the stability of strengthening exercises of major muscles to maintain body shape. The Guided Imagery(GI) program is performed with the breathing, the hearing of palpitation of heart, and the light-meditation from the 1st to the 3th session, with deepening the light-meditation from the 4th to 7th session, and with the meditation of facing death at the last 8th session. To develop the Natural Therapy YOGA Intervention Program with the yogic stability and GI to reduce the transformation and pain of the patient's body and musculi extremitatis superioris after breast cancer surgery, this case study is useful to design the proprioceptive and interoceptive exercises. With a reduction in the pain in shoulder-arm-neck, the fear and anxiety of radiation therapy, and the muscular transformation or imbalance of the patient after breast cancer surgery, this program led not only to improvement of the quality of the same patient's life but also to change of the patient's recognition about death.
