Patients of all ages and fitness levels are welcome. Sessions, funded by grants and donations, are free to patients. Donations are accepted from those who are able to contribute.
Research has shown that regular exercise speeds recovery for cancer survivors, promotes the effectiveness of other parts of treatment, and can significantly deter recurrence rates.
The exercise program is designed for each patient's needs, abilities and interests. Patients receive a demonstration of the exercises, a written set of recommendations for exercises that can be done at home, and referrals to group yoga and exercise classes. Trainers offer tips and strategies for success and make follow-up telephone calls.
