Post-Rehab Breast Cancer Physical Therapy Based Pilates In Manhattan
What is Post-Rehab Breast Cancer Physical Therapy Pilates in Manhattan?
Breast cancer treatment can be a physically and emotionally challenging journey. It often involves surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation, which can lead to a significant impact on one’s physical health and well-being. Recognizing the need for specialized care in the post-rehabilitation phase, our clinic offers a unique service: Post-Rehab Breast Cancer Physical Therapy based Pilates. This program is designed to help breast cancer survivors regain strength, improve flexibility, and enhance their overall quality of life.
The Role of Pilates in Breast Cancer Recovery
Pilates, a method of exercise that emphasizes body control, strength, and flexibility, is particularly beneficial for breast cancer survivors. Post-rehab Pilates focuses on gentle movements that can help in managing lymphedema, improving posture, and reducing pain and stiffness often experienced after breast cancer treatments. The core strengthening aspect of Pilates is crucial as it helps in rebuilding the strength lost during treatment, enhancing core stability, and improving balance.
