1. Is Chrysalis safe for my breast surgery patients?
Chrysalis was designed over the course of 2 years by licensed medical professionals with safety as our overriding concern. We consulted with dietitians, plastic surgeons, cardiologists, and physical therapists to ensure our conservative movements would not harm patients post-op breast surgery.
2. I don’t want my patients to “exercise” in the first several weeks after surgery.
The conservative movements given in the first 4 weeks are very basic with NO resistance or weights and focus only on the lower body. We're happy to share our complete exercise list with you. It is also available online for you to view on each perspective week if you log in with your free account.
3. I don’t want my patients using their arms for up to 6 weeks. How is this regulated with Chrysalis?
Upper body movements aren’t advised until patients sign a waiver indicating they’ve been cleared by their surgeons at week six. If requested prior to week six.
4. Will you override my advice?
Chrysalis does NOT replace the advice of surgeons. Chrysalis is a supplement to a surgeon’s own post-surgical program.
5. Why would my patients need a program like Chrysalis?
By partnering with Chrysalis, you are providing your patients with a comprehensive, structured program so they can move safely, get ahead of the inevitable emotional roller coaster, and have an outlet to answer common questions. Women like and seek structure as well as support from other women. Recommending Chrysalis to your patients provides them with structure and support.
6. What is the purpose of the three-tiered approach offered by Chrysalis?
Chrysalis facilitates healing the mind and body conjointly, addressing the emotional roller coaster.
7. How does Chrysalis benefit me?
By recommending Chrysalis, you’re differentiating yourself from other surgeons by going the extra mile in ensuring long-term recovery and happiness. Patients don’t want to be another number, they want to know you care about their well-being. We help pave the way to a more fruitful surgeon-patient relationship. Again-it's free to you AND to your patients!
8. What’s the best way to offer Chrysalis to my patients?
Simply mention The Chrysalis Method to your patient's BEFORE their surgery. There are countless resources available with our program to aid patient's in surgery prep as well as recovery to ensure they are prepared. 96% of the women surveyed indicated that they would prefer a program such as Chrysalis being presented to them by their surgeon’s office.
