Breast and other cancer survivors are often left with the challenge of coping with the long-term effects of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and adjuvant treatments on their own at home.
Receiving little or no guidance about their long-term return to health and fitness, Pain Free Posture MN and Pilates Integration can successfully and confidently guide breast and other cancer survivors through a safe and effective fitness program, and help them return to a PAIN FREE and fully functional lifestyle.
The Pink Ribbon Program offers strength, self-esteem and quality of life to breast (and other) cancer survivors. Pilates Integration and Pain Free Posture MN provide the right exercise programming protocol to allow breast cancer survivors of all ages to live their lives to the fullest during and recovering and a cancer diagnosis, surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and/or adjuvant treament.
Pink Ribbon Program Pilates, and Egoscue Method sessions for breast and other cancer survivor's focus on client-specific programming, providing a continuum of care after surgery, throughout treatment, and along the road to recovery.
