Pink Ribbon Program

After completing the Pink Ribbon Program for instructors, Im raring to go. It is a pilates-based therapeutic exercise programme for post operative breat cancer patients. This programme is not instead of physiotherapy but to be done in conjunction with physiotherapy starting 6 weeks post operation. The programme has designated exercises that comes in a small book that is given to the patient so that she can continue her exercises at home. There are 3 phases for the rehabilitative style programme with phase 4 being added after the initial 6 weeks programme. I am wanting to get a class up and running in the Islington area for local people. I have already contacted Whittington Hospital and Royal Free, however I do want to keep it in the Islington area. Depending on the size of the programme, I may start approaching local companies for support to help pay for the booklets and additional merchandise which will be given to the patients when they sign up for the 6 week programme.

If successful, I would also like to continue with a follow-up class that will keep the flow going and of course additional improvement and function especially around the shoulder girdle area. Anyone wanting 1-2-1 exercise can then consider doing personal training with me using pilates equipment to focus on increase strength and flexibility further.

Im currently reading all the research so that I know exactly what happens during each surgery which allow me to ensure that I am delivering the correct advise to each individual. I will also ensure that I evaluate each individual person with a range of tests and a questionnaire prior to starting the classes. This all takes time and money so you can see why I will be looking at accessing any local companies who would like to support a great local cause.

Anyone interested, please let me know xx
