A first of its kind, guided return-to-movement program designed specifically for women after explant surgery.

Created by fitness professional Courtney Durando after her personal experience with explant recovery.

The Explant Exercise & Recovery Program is a thoughtfully designed 7-week program created to support women through the physical recovery after explant surgery.

With guided workouts and progressive strength training, you'll rebuild stability, improve posture, and confidently return to movement at your own pace.

This program is designed for women who:

• Have recently had breast implant removal (explant) surgery
• Feel unsure about how to safely return to exercise after surgery
• Want guidance on rebuilding upper body strength and posture
• Are looking for a structured, supportive plan rather than guessing what exercises are safe
• Want to regain confidence in their body and movement

This program is appropriate for women who are at least 6 week post explant surgery, who have been cleared for gentle movement by their surgeon and are ready to begin rebuilding strength in a gradual, thoughtful way.

Feel confident, capable and strong in your body after explant surgery.

The Explant Exercise and Recovery Program is an educational fitness program and is not intended to replace medical advice. Patients should follow their surgeons post-operative guidelines.

  • "After my explant surgery I was very sore and overwhelmed at the thought of working out. I was afraid of hurting myself during recovery and living with a reduced range of motion. I was thankful to find Courtney, who had the surgery one month prior to me and was what seemed like miles ahead in post-surgery capabilities. Before starting Courtney's explant recovery program, I was stuck and overwhelmed on how to properly rehab my body post surgery. I was living in fear of hurting myself and daily household tasks were making me sore. I have always been someone who enjoys instruction and guidance when it comes to exercise rather than figuring it out on my own, so I was so thankful to find Courtney and her program to help me get my strength back. Courtney's supportive and knowledgeable approach helped me quickly gain confidence in my ability to rehab and see a future of working out like normal again. I instantly began to feel stronger and more capable, and daily life became easier for me. I only wish I had started working with her sooner so I could've gotten to that feeling faster and sped up my recovery even more. What surprised me the most post-surgery was how sore I was for a prolonged amount of time. And also how weak my pec muscles were. For women considering this program I would tell them to start as soon as they can! It was truly a path back to my old self that I needed more than I knew."

  • "When I first started working with Courtney, I was 6 weeks post-op and nervous about using my upper body. I was fit and active before surgery, and was eager to start working out, but didn’t know how to approach it. It was amazing going from not being able to reach my arms fully above my head to doing a 10 second plank by the end of the program! I felt comfortable with the weekly progressions and trusted Courtney’s advice fully knowing that she went through the same healing process. I know that doing her program helped me heal and strengthen my muscles so that I didn't get injured during recovery and I would recommend it to anyone regardless of their fitness level."

  • "My biggest worry going into the surgery really centered around the post explant stage. Get rest, take the right supplements, etc. was straightforward guidance from the doctor, but I needed help with how to safely return to activity. The amount of muscle repair involved really justifies a need for specifically dedicated programming. I found Courtney from a shared post and reached out to her directly. Not only does she get it having been through the procedure herself, but she's incredibly in tune with her clients. She built a program that is thoughtfully designed to rebuild mobility and strength, and it's flexible based on how quickly or slowly you progress. She was able to meet me where I'm at in every session without straying from the program itself or without me losing progress. The cherry on top is Courtney herself. She's wonderful to work with, genuine, humble and really cares about helping you get back to yourself! I feel like myself again after the program and have no issues with day to day, including picking up my 38lb daughter. I'm working back up to running again and excited to work with Courtney again on further strengthening! I'd recommend her and her program to anyone going through explant."
