Prehab Project: Filming new post breast reconstruction surgery exercise video in Melbourne

Hello everyone,

We are wondering if anyone would be interested in being involved in the filming of a new post breast reconstruction surgery exercise video, which will take place on Friday 20 September 2019 in Malvern East, Melbourne.   I have been told that it will be a long day between the hours of 9 am to 4 pm approximately.  More specific details below

  • You will need to be about 4 weeks post breast reconstruction surgery (no specific type)
  • The video filming will require you to be demonstrating the correct way to perform everyday tasks post breast reconstructive surgery, including lifting washing from the washing machine and getting up out of bed
  • You will be required to sit in a chair in the shower (clothed) demonstrating how to wash your hair
  • You will also be demonstrating exercises that assist recovery
  • You will need to be comfortable in front of a camera, taking precise direction from the physiotherapist with gentle exercise movements using an exercise band and instruction also from the video director
  • You will need to be comfortable with close ups of your torso being filmed as you demonstrates the exercises
  • There will  be mock draining tubes fitted fixed to your body as it's important to show how to navigate drains post surgery 
  • You will need to wear a variety of your own outfits, including fitted active wear so that the exercise movements can be clearly seen

Details are as follows :

Recording: Friday 20th September 2019
