Breast Cancer Rehabilitation

After having undergone surgery or chemotherapy for breast cancer, Pilates can serve as a form of stress relief and relaxation. Pilates tenderly retrains muscles that have been affected. Multiple modifications are available to clients as they rebuild their muscles. Attending a Pilates class can be a great way to take some much deserved time for yourself and your body. It is a wonderful way to heal. Rehabilitative group classes can provide a support network of individuals with similar situations.

Physical Therapy

In general Pilates is a great way to recover from any injury. The exercises work the shoulder girdle, hip joint, and back in ways that strengthen the muscles while retaining motion and movement within the joint. The emphasis on core muscles (stomach, back, and glutes) help to stabilize the body. You learn to be in control of your muscles.

What makes Pilates unique is that every exercise can be modified to meet your individual needs. Pilates is a great choice while on the road to recovery after almost any surgery or injury. Talk to your doctor about doing Pilates and whether or not it is the right exercise for you. At Personal Euphoria we have a number of clients who began taking Pilates classes because their doctor recommended it. They continue because they see and feel the difference.
