Breast Cancer Rehab Program Available at the YMCA
THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- The South Montgomery County YMCA has added Restoration, a Pilates based exercise recovery program for breast cancer survivors, to its small group training schedule this summer.
Restoration is designed to help breast cancer survivors restore mobility, improve circulation, regain energy and rebuild strength in a safe and relaxed environment. In addition this relaxed form of exercise will improve self confidence and quality of life while reducing emotional stress. This program, which strengthens the mind-body connection during the recovery process, is available to all breast cancer survivors, whether they are eight weeks or eight years post op.
Shellee Eudy of The Woodlands, a Pink Ribbon Program Certified Instructor and veteran YMCA Fitness Instructor will be teaching the program. Her professional credentials include ACE Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Pilates Professional and Post Rehabilitative Exercise Specialist.
Pink Ribbon Program Certified Instructors understand the importance of working in alignment with medical professionals in program assessment, exercise guidelines, protocols and implementation to assist the breast cancer survivor in lowering the risk of lymphedema and other complications, both long and short term.
The summer session begins Monday, June 1, but participants can join the class anytime in mid-session. Class days will be Mondays at 12:30 p.m. or Tuesday evenings at 6 p.m. The program includes a private personalized patient assessment, 6 weeks of specialized exercise in a relaxed small group format and an exercise booklet. Participants must have a doctor’s release prior to entrance into program. Private sessions available upon request.
For more information, please contact Shellee Eudy, 281 364-0258 or Michelle Hill, YMCA Wellness Director at 281 367-9622. To register please stop by the South Montgomery County YMCAs, 6145 Shadowbend Place or 8100 Ashlane Way in The Woodlands.
