Summary
This study tested whether adding tissue flossing (wrapping a tight band around the shoulder) to standard nerve gliding exercises could help women with axillary web syndrome after breast cancer surgery. 155 women aged 45-65 who had a mastectomy and lymph node removal took part. Researchers measured pain, shoulder movement, and quality of life to see if the flossing technique improved recovery.
