Breast Cancer Wellness and Fitness Program

The Body Awareness Breast Cancer Survivor Fitness Program will empower women at all stages of treatment to return to a full and active lifestyle. Our program is designed to increase energy and strength as well as improve physical limitations caused by surgery and other cancer treatments. Each program begins with a comprehensive evaluation performed by a licensed physical therapist to determine current limitations and set goals tailored to meet your individual needs. Individualized programs incorporate a combination strength training, cardiovascular fitness, stretching, yoga and pilates in a safe environment.

Who would benefit from Body Awareness Breast Cancer Wellness and Fitness Program?

This program is designed for those women who:

  • Are undergoing breast cancer treatments or who are at any stage of remission.
  • Would like to develop a safe, personalized exercise program for those who have not been exercising regularly.
  • Would like to decrease fatigue levels, improve range of motion, flexibility and strength.

If you think you would benefit from an assessment from a licensed physical therapist that specializes in breast cancer care to help you develop an appropriate fitness program tailored to meet your needs, ask your Oncologist or Primary Care Physician if you are a candidate for our 3-visit fitness program.
