The Pink Ribbon Program

Pilates Moves owner and instructor Marion Knackstedt is a Certified Post-Rehabilitative Breast Cancer Exercise Specialist through the Pink Ribbon Program, Post-Operative Workout Enchancing Recovery.

The program helps breast cancer survivors to meet the following goals:

• Helps regain strength and mobility in affected shoulder and arm
• Retrains musculature of trunk for postural improvement
• Improves self-confidence
• Reduces feelings of depression
• Enhances energy levels
• Decreases stress and tension
• Enhances physical and mental well-being

Recent studies show a connection between moderate physical exercise and higher quality of life for breast cancer survivors. Often, survivors are sent home from the hospital with no formal program for rehabilitation. The Pink Ribbon Program is designed specifically to help women recover physically, mentally, and spiritually from the surgery, which ties in to the mission of Pilates Moves to help your mind, body, and soul.

We know the last thing you feel like doing is exercising, but you'll be so glad you did. Exercise does heal, and exercising under the guidance of Marion, a certified Breast Cancer Exercise Specialist, ensures that the exercises are right for you and your condition.
