Central Core

Have you, family, or friends been affected by cancer? It’s a tough road and we support you.
No matter where you are in the cancer journey, Pilates can become a safe haven for you as well as provide several health-enhancing pathways.
⏺ gentle movement and exercise fosters a state of well-being and the ability to “feel normal” during months of treatment
⏺ increases white blood T cells to help strengthen the immune system through chemo treatments
⏺ low-intensity cardiovascular exercise promotes healing (high-intensity cardio workouts can create stress in your body, ⏺ increase cortisol levels, and reduce your ability to fight infection)
⏺ increases bone density through resistance training (and eventually Jumpboard) to ward off the increased bone loss or osteoporosis that often results from chemotherapy
⏺ improves lymphatic drainage with proper breathing technique
⏺ improves joint mechanics to aid the break down of scar tissue
⏺ restores overall range of motion, flexibility, strength, and endurance
⏺ restores upright postural alignment and balance
⏺ reduces both physiological and emotional stress
⏺ the focus on breath and mindful movement allows a time for clarity and peace

Please note! ⚠️ Be sure you are working with an injury specialist and certified trainer, because the quality of movement and exercise selection can potentially either aid in healing or increase the spread of cancer.
