There is a growing support for research that suggests moderate exercise can aid post-operative breast cancer recovery and improve quality of life for women who have been through a breast cancer operation. In the field of health and fitness, as its main focus is to ‘build body core strength and stability’ Pilates is acknowledged as an accessible form of training where exertion is considered to be relatively moderate.
This advanced Pilates program is sensitively designed to assist breast cancer survivors with a comfortable recovery and resumption of a more active lifestyle. The holistic program is designed to aid the restoration of harmony,strength and mobility as well as range of motion not only in the shoulder girdle but in the entire body. It also addresses muscular imbalances due to specific surgeries. Our workshop will provide you with the knowledge and skills to assist women who are in the post-operative recovery and help them in rebuilding their strength, self – esteem and quality of life.
just one comment from our last course more available on face book
Marie Townsend “it was an inspiring thought-provoking workshop – I feel I understand better what women & to a lesser extent men face because of breast cancer. As a result I hope to be able to apply this knowledge and help to improve their recovery thru Pilates. Many thanks”
