Pilates is one of the few forms of exercise recommended by oncology specialists for those undergoing or recovering from cancer treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
At Studio Australia Barcelona, we tailor personal cancer care programs with low-impact Pilates exercises designed to improve physical function, build and maintain muscle strength, and reduce fatigue during treatment.
We understand that not all conventional doctors are familiar with holistic health practices and may be hesitant to recommend alternative treatments. Therefore, we are committed to working closely with your doctor to ensure your health and well-being are always prioritised.
Our collaborative approach ensures that your treatment plan is comprehensive and beneficial, combining the expertise of both conventional and holistic health practices to support your recovery and overall wellness.
Staying active during cancer treatment is vital for preserving strength, flexibility, and overall resilience. One of the common side effects of chemotherapy and radiation is osteoporosis, leading to weakened bones and increased risk of fractures.
Incorporating weight-bearing exercises into your routine is key to combating this. Pilates, with its gentle resistance-based equipment, offers a safe and effective method for maintaining bone density, muscle tone, and joint mobility.
The controlled movements strengthen your core and help improve balance, flexibility, and posture, making Pilates an essential component of a comprehensive cancer care plan that supports your long-term recovery and wellness.
Pilates is an invaluable tool for recovery after surgeries like mastectomies or lymph node removal. By focusing on keeping fascia and scar tissue supple, Pilates aids in restoring mobility and flexibility. Additionally, specific exercises support the lymphatic system, which is essential in reducing the risk of complications such as lymphedema.
To further support recovery, we recommend that clients incorporate post-surgical Pilates exercises alongside consultations with our lymphatic specialist.
This combined approach promotes lymphatic drainage, aids in healing, and equips clients with daily exercises that assist in preventing and managing lymphedema, ensuring optimal long-term recovery.
We are not able to cure cancer but we are able to give you relief and help you on your healing journey to survive cancer.
