Exercise may be the last thing you feel like doing after surgery and treatments, but studies are showing a link between moderate exercise and an improved quality of life for breast cancer survivors.
The safe and gentle exercises of the Pink Ribbon Program are pilates-based and designed to help stretch and strengthen the shoulder, chest, back, and abdominal muscles. This allows women to regain strength and range of motion to those areas affected by breast cancer - whether your surgery was recent or many years ago.
Created by Doreen Puglisi, an exercise physiologist and breast cancer survivor herself, her personal experience as a breast cancer patient and survivor helped her truly understand and shape the program to meet the needs of survivors and promote a healthy lifestyle and positive body image.
