Mount Carmel offers an exercise program designed
specifically to help women with breast cancer incorporate a daily fitness
routine into their lives. The 6-week, 18-session program is offered free
through a grant from the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, and combines
low-impact exercises and stretching movements for a total-body workout. Among
the intended benefits of the program are decreased anxiety and depression,
reduced nausea during chemotherapy, improved emotional well-being, increased
range of arm motion after surgery and weight control. The program also includes
after-class education sessions about a variety of topics, such as nutrition,
stress management, sexuality and lymphedema prevention.
A physician referral is required for enrollment. Call
614-234-4006 for more information. |
