PRLogo color 300x85 Pink Ribbon ProgramWe are please to announce The Pink Ribbon program to be held at ABSolute Pilates starting this June and again in September.

The Pink Ribbon Program, founded by Doreen Puglisi, MS, was created to help meet the goals of the breast cancer survivor.  These major areas of concern typically include body image, frozen shoulder, and/or range of motion, depression and anxiety. Allison the is a certified pink ribbon program instructor.

Thankfully, due to early prevention awareness, breast cancers, as well as other cancers, are no longer being viewed as an automatic death sentence, but instead as a chronic illness.  Recent studies indicate a link between moderate physical exercise and improved quality of life for all cancer survivors.  Exercise protocols like The Pink Ribbon Program are needed more than ever as the population of cancer survivors grow.

This post-rehabilitation class is open to all breast cancer survivors whether their surgery was eight weeks ago or ten years ago.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give us a call. Times for the class will be set closer to the start and class size will remain small.
