Body Control Pilates recently announced this new course which will really help support those looking for rehabilitation. Launched in 2014, this course is open for the first time to Pilates teachers from other organisations. This important programme was developed by a team including leading specialists in the area of breast cancer rehabilitation and is also supported by some of the UK’s leading Cancer Support Organisations. |
The course outlines the latest situation regarding breast cancer in the UK and focuses on how Pilates can contribute towards an improved quality of life and functioning in breast cancer survivors. It will also review the medical management of breast cancer (including diagnosis and treatment) and explore the role of rehabilitation at all stages of the cancer pathway and examine the evidence-based approaches to upper limb dysfunction, whole body deconditioning and symptoms such as pain, fatigue, scarring and lymphoedema.
Using case studies, the course allows instructors to explore how Pilates can help in a patient’s rehabilitation after treatment - particularly, how Pilates can help restore range of movement in the shoulder joint and prevent or address any movement dysfunction.
This one-day course builds on the content of the Foundation Day by looking at how Body Control Pilates matwork exercises can be adapted to help those in rehabilitation from breast cancer.
