ywcaencore
ywcaencore is a FREE exercise program designed specifically for women who have experienced mastectomy, lumpectomy or breast reconstruction surgery at any time in their lives. Based around floor and pool exercises and relaxation techniques, ywcaencore is safe, fun, and therapeutic.
The floor exercises focus on strength and flexibility in the upper body. The water resistance exercises are gentle but effective and the warm water relaxes and relieves muscles.
- ywcaencore can help women:
- Improve mobility and flexibility in the arms and shoulders
- Improve strength in the upper body
- Boost self esteem and self image
- Relieve some of the discomforts associated with surgery
- Develop a positive attitude towards health and life
ywcaencore is more than an exercise program. It is a supportive environment where women are able to share their experiences, concerns, and feelings with other women who will understand.
