Pilates for Breast Cancer Recovery

I came across this article recently.  Pilates is a great way of exercising for women who are going through or have completed treatment for breast cancer.  Pilates can help to:

• Improve range of movement at the shoulder joint
• Improve the stability of the shoulder complex
• Increase strength and endurance
• Reduce cancer related fatigue
• Improve flexibility 
• Improve posture and body alignment
• Improve balance and coordination
• Improve the circulation
• Stimulate the lymphatic system, which aids drainage of fluid and is important in the prevention of lymphoedema
• Increase bone density, which is important to prevent osteoporosis
• Aid relaxation and reduce anxiety
• Provide an enhanced sense of wellbeing.

My 'Pink Pilates' classes are now available in Kilkenny!
