Integrated and progressive rehabilitation for post-mastectomy and breast surgery patients

Exercise may be the last thing you feel like doing after breast cancer surgery. 
You're probably exhausted, your arm may be painful and swollen and the post-surgery chemo- or radiography treatments can make you feel even worse.

All you want to do is rest. In the past, that's exactly what doctors recommended.

 
However, recent studies indicate a link between moderate physical exercise and improved 
quality of life for breast cancer survivors.

The Pink Ribbon Program has been successfully helping women recover their mobility, strength, and range of motion following breast cancer surgery in the USA, Australia and Europe since 2003.

Following specific training in the US, I am delighted to be offering this to cancer survivors as well as women who have undergone other aspects of breast surgery. 

I aim to help promote a healthy lifestyle and positive body image to all breast cancer survivors and breast surgery patients through the application of specially devised clinical Pilates techniques.

Based on the guidelines of the Pink Ribbon program, each patient receives an individually designed plan based on her past treatment and current needs. The therapy is delivered normally over eight sessions, in my specially built Pilates studio using specialist rehabilitation apparatus and other mat-based exercises.
