Pink Ribbon Program
PINK RIBBON PROGRAM
The Pink Ribbon Program is a 6-week series of 12 exercise sessions, featuring tailored movements designed to meet the needs and challenges of breast cancer survivors. The Program's overall goal is to enhance recovery and improve quality of life. Pure Pilates offers this program for a nominal fee to all breast cancer patients and survivors.
Exercise is an important part of breast cancer treatment and recovery. The Pink Ribbon Program helps stretch and strengthen shoulder, chest and back muscles, improving range of motion and increasing strength to the areas most affected by breast cancer surgery, treatment and reconstruction.
Expected benefits include:
- Renewed strength/mobility to affected shoulder and arm
- Stimulation of lymphatic drainage (to help prevent Lymphedema)
- Improvement of functional ability
- Assistance in posture restoration
- Alleviation of pain and swelling
- Relief of stress and anxiety
