Many more women will survive breast cancer today than ever before. This workshop will discuss various treatments, including surgeries and reconstruction as well as the exercise requirements for each. You will learn matwork-based exercises focusing on range of motion for the shoulder girdle. We will concentrate on establishing mobility, restoring posture, ensuring proper biomechanics and developing core and peripheral strength to address muscular imbalances created from the surgeries.
